The book has opened my eyes. English language is top notch Review: Chat GPT generated? - This is a difficult book to review. Frankopan is a renowned historian and a best selling author. It does not feel correct to be critical. So I'll caveat this by saying that this is just my opinion, to be weighed against that of others. What I liked most is the sweeping view of world affairs that this book provides in 250 pages. It's hard to find such a concise and easy to read view of global politics and especially one concerning the silk roads. That was a tick for me. What pained me was the over extensive use of references and quotations. There are about 750 references (approximately 3 per page) and maybe 20% of the book is in the form of quotations. As a result, the book felt more like a literature review that was part 1 of a thesis and less a piece of analysis. The author impresses you with coverage, but not with insight. If you've been living under a rock, this book is great. However, the nuance is missing from the arguments and the perspective comes across as very western. The same trap that it was probably meant to avoid. There are a few minor additional quibbles. Technology is clearly not Frankopan’s strong point; the cursory attempts to cover AI, blockchain etc fall flat and read like a school essay. There are also some grammatical errors or maybe the sentences were just to long for me to understand. Overall, I can't say that I didn't like the book. But I expected a lot, lot more. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #118,793 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #500 in International Relations & Globalization #699 in Political Theory #2,020 in World History (Books) | | Country of Origin | India | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 4.3 out of 5 stars (1,677) | | Dimensions | 20.3 x 25.4 x 4.7 cm | | Generic Name | Book | | ISBN-10 | 1526609614 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1526609618 | | Item Weight | 500 g | | Language | English | | Net Quantity | 750.00 Grams | | Print length | 336 pages | | Publication date | 28 November 2018 | | Publisher | Bloomsbury Publishing | ## Images ![The New Silk Roads - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91BTT87aWmL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wonderful *by D***M on 31 October 2024* I never knew so much about the road and route.

Peter has actually laid forth a foreign policy for the WEST ....if they can read between his lines. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ae/products/87030344-the-new-silk-roads](https://www.desertcart.ae/products/87030344-the-new-silk-roads) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Arab Emirates* *Store origin: AE* *Last updated: 2026-05-12*
