A phenomenon-level bestseller that has shocked the world, a senior historian from Oxford University clarifies the past and present of the "Belt and Road Initiative" from the perspective of world history! It has topped the nonfiction bestseller list in more than 20 countries including the United Kingdom, the United States, Germany, Turkey, and India. It has received unanimous praise from celebrities in academic, political, and business circles at home and abroad. It was recommended twice for the first time by the People's Daily. From its inception, the Silk Road has always dominated the process of human civilization. The Silk Road made China's silk and civilization popular all over the world; Rome and Persia created their respective empires on the roadside; Buddhism, Christianity and Islam rose rapidly along the Silk Road and spread around the world, integrating the three thousand years of history of Jerusalem; Genghis Khan's Mongolian iron hoof went all the way to the west, bringing slaughter while promoting the integration of Eastern and Western civilizations; the British Empire created a glory that never sets by plundering the wealth on the Silk Road; Hitler pushed the world into the abyss of war and massacre for the resources on the Silk Road. To this day, refugees and the terrorist ISIS on the Silk Road are still a lingering nightmare for Europe and the United States. From Zhang Jian's passage through the Western Regions to the "One Belt, One Road" initiative, you will find in this all-encompassing epic that the Silk Road not only shaped the past of mankind, but will also dominate the future of the world.

A magnificent history

a good book
Interpreting the Silk Road from a foreigner's perspective is worth reading patiently. I bought the physical book, read part of it intermittently, and will work hard to finish it. I have been working hard on coding recently and strive to achieve some results in the second half of the year. In addition, I suggest you have the opportunity to go to Dunhuang and learn about silk culture.
