Peter Frankopan: Ten Years Trekking the Silk Road

Ten years ago, Peter Frankopan changed the way we think about the historical relationship between East and West, with The Silk Road: A New History of the World. The book lived up to its title, shifting focus from the West towards the Eastern crucibles of civilisation, religion, and industry, and opening up a treasure trove of research on previous eras of exchange and collaboration. With our trading relationships with India and China still very much at the fore, join Frankopan as we revisit this seminal book and its ongoing implications.
