The Steppe Empire is a comprehensive history of the ancient nomadic peoples of northern Eurasia. Organized around the states and dynasties founded by nomadic peoples, the book systematically chronicles the rise and fall of ancient nomadic tribes and regimes. It recounts the sweeping saga of the steppe peoples and their relations with neighboring peoples, as well as thousands of years of conflict and cultural exchange between nomads and agricultural societies. They entered regions with advanced civilizations, clashing with agricultural peoples while gradually developing rich and diverse cultures of their own. Their influence shaped world civilization, political order, and the course of history. The peoples who made the steppe their home forged a distinctive historical culture and played an important role in the development of human civilization.
