Foreign Devils on the Silk Road: The Search for the Lost Treasures of Central Asia by Peter Hopkirk

3.0

A small book, quite cyclical in its structure, but nonetheless interesting. All of the incredible history, art and manuscripts of China were, and still are, stolen from them. But, I guess, it was a different era, with different norms and rules. Who knows which side is best in the grand scheme of things (other than - give it back).

Peter Hopkirk - as amazing as ever, vividly painting the dusty, dangerous world of the Central Asian Silk Road.
