Overview

Features timelines, maps, profiles on key figures and important cities and is also packed with illustrations of the many and diverse nations along these incredible routes.

Covers a subject that is experiencing a new surge of global interest: the New Yorker recently published a portfolio on China's 'New Silk Road' in January 2018, stating that China is investing billions in building pathways to Europe, Central Asia and the Middle East, and ITV recently televised a documentary series on the Silk Roads featuring Joanna Lumley as the presenter.
