jmatkinson1 's review for:
The New Silk Roads: The Present and Future of the World
by Peter Frankopan
In his previous book 'The Silk Roads' Frankopane looked at the historical importance of the links between East and West and how society developed along these trade routes. In this follow up he looks at the changes in the world order that involve the middle and far east and their relationships to the west. The so-called 'Belt and Road' that defines China's influence and domination, the way that rich Asian nations and their people are buying western culture and reaction of the west (particularly Trump) is fascinating. This is a complex and erudite book which shows history merely repeats itself.
