The sun is setting on the Western world. Slowly but surely, the direction in which the world spins has reversed: where for the last five centuries the globe turned westwards on its axis, it now turns to the east.
For centuries, fame and fortune was to be found in the west - in the New World of the Americas. Today, it is the east which calls out to those in search of adventure and riches. The region stretching from eastern Europe and sweeping right across Central Asia deep into China and India, is taking centre stage in international politics, commerce and culture - and is shaping the modern world.
This region, the true centre of the earth, is obscure to many in the English-speaking world. Yet this is where civilization itself began, where the world's great religions were born and took root. The Silk Roads were no exotic series of connections, but networks that linked continents and oceans together. Along them flowed ideas, goods, disease and death. This was where empires were won - and where they were lost. As a new era emerges, the patterns of exchange are mirroring those that have criss-crossed Asia for millennia. The Silk Roads are rising again.
A major reassessment of world history, The Silk Roads is an important account of the forces that have shaped the global economy and the political renaissance in the re-emerging east.

全是有个全新的视角的，主线还是丝绸之路，其实说的并不是丝绸，富含深意

读的时候会觉得欧美帝国主义好虚伪呀，他们的财富来源好不光彩呀，需要的时候奴隶啦鸦片啦武器啦都是正当的贸易 。但他们不会禁止自己人写这样的书，任其畅销，不得不说是了不起的帝国主义。

难能可贵的不是以西方视角为中心的世界历史，尽可能做到了客观中立，虽说略有矫枉过正地，可我们真的需要多一些对强者的批判和对弱者的怜悯，而不是一味地不弱肉强食合理化

集中在中东地区的叙事。从公元前一直到最近的一带一路都有提到。解答了我关于伊斯兰教的一些问题，也带来了一些对中东地区全新的感受。从丝绸之路到石油管道的变迁，其中还有一些很有趣的故事，对于不大了解这一地区的人还是很有益处的。

標題誤導，其實叫中東中心的世界通史比較好。一種伊頓公學的小男生站在世界地圖前指點江山的味道。

居然找不到他的「The New Silk Roads」只好在這兒評價。一句話，這本「剪報」是作者從歷史學家轉型KOL的扛鼎之作。

前半部分还挺有意思的，尤其是讲到了欧亚文明是如何互相影响的。快进到20世纪后就和丝绸之路没有太多关系变成了近代史。最后回归到政策上显得太心有余而力不足。
