Empires of the Silk Road: A History of Central Eurasia from the Bronze Age to the Present
by Christopher I. Beckwith
by Christopher I. Beckwith
This book is a like a bomb thrown in the steppe cause. It goes off messily, but messy's what you need, arguably, when the cause is down and out, when you want to start a revolution. The giant prologue and epilogue are where the genius lies.
He's written a much more scholarly book too, he's not always a bomb-throwing leftie. Though the scholarly one is quietly revolutionary itself.
