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

3.0

Had to read this one for my Silk Road college class. The writing style is very accessible and even makes the book exciting! However, The author takes a very Eurocentric approach. Also, the author is less of a historian and more of a journalist, so it’s not necessarily the best historical scholarship. Regardless, it’s still a fascinating read that I didn’t mind having assigned to me!
