In The New Silk Roads, Peter Frankopan takes us on an eye-opening journey through the region, from China's breathtaking infrastructure investments to the flood of trade deals among Central Asian republics to the growing rapprochement between Turkey and Russia. This important book asks us to put aside our preconceptions and see the world from a new -- and ultimately hopeful -- perspective"--

The Silk Roads, an earlier hefty volume by the same author, is an impressive book, an excellent introduction to a region of the world that is virtually unknown to most Americans. The newer book here seems like a very weak attempt to capitalize on the earlier book. It has been physically puffed up to look like a book, but the margins, large font and space between lines give away they fact that there is not much here. And what is here is largely an anti-Trump rant that should be embarrassing to the author.
