"All roads used to lead to Rome. Today they lead to Beijing." So argues Peter Frankopan in this revelatory new book. In the age of Brexit and Trump, the West is buffeted by the tides of isolationism and fragmentation. Yet to the East, this is a moment of optimism as a new network of relationships takes shape along the ancient trade routes. 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. Review: Thoughts - The New Silk Road is a wonderful synopsis of civilization. Facts prove that men over the centuries have not changed and have not learned those lessons from history! Short term goals for things society needs are often overlooked as to future consequences. Review: Time and detailed - Peter Frankopan is a brilliant historian, who has comprehensive understanding of the interactive nature of history. The New Silk Roads is well researched, full of interesting and important details. He recognizes the historical impact of China's contemporary restoration as a major world power and puts it in international context. I recommend it to every investor, scholar, politician or diplomat and everyone else, who needs to keep up with the changing realities of our times. However, this book, does not have the historical depth of his previous work "The Silk Roads, A new History of the World". It hink this must reflect the time press the author was under. When you travel fast you cannot always understand the significance of details or how they fit in the over-all picture. To name one example, Mr. Frankopan does not quite get the significance of remote satellite sensing for ensuring compliance of urban planning. It has nothing to do with "chimney pots or patio extensions" (p21). Its purpose is to stop the common practice of corrupt local officials to close their eyes for illegal property development, where agricultural land is converted to urban development and industrial parks and turned into luxurious villa districts sold a premium prices. Central authorities use computers for spotting anomalies and discrepancies between the rules and regulations on land use and realities on the ground. It is highly effective. The authorities have sent bulldozers to destroy luxurious villa districts and severly punished the officials involved. As for the patio extensions, the common practice is to close one eye and pretend not to notice, as long as it is not excessive or dangerous and does not disturb the local harmony. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #317,919 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #64 in Globalization & Politics #67 in Globalization (Books) #183 in Economic Conditions (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 out of 5 stars 1,731 Reviews | ## Images ![The New Silk Roads: The New Asia and the Remaking of the World Order - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91P5yDuA0JL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Thoughts *by B***Z on October 5, 2025* The New Silk Road is a wonderful synopsis of civilization.
