The Ocean of Churn: How the Indian Ocean Shaped Human History by Sanjeev Sanyal

informative medium-paced

5.0

This is a great history of the Indian Ocean region. It focuses mostly on economic and cultural history, and how the trade routes connected India with Africa and the more eastern portions of Asia. It was absolutely fascinating, and somewhat less dry than a lot of history books. If you want a look at wars in the area, this isn't your best bet.
