nbynw 's review for:

The Silk Roads: A New History of the World by Peter Frankopan

2.5

---

I interpreted the title and subtitle of this book all wrong. I’m almost embarrassed it took me 1/3 of the way in before I realized it was a history of the world with a bit more focus on the Middle East. Once I realized this I settled into it and there was a lot to learn, but I never really got past the fact I was hoping for an in depth look at the Silk Road…silk road. Not all the other roads… probably why it took me several months to finish.
