Publisher's Summary
From the best-selling author of The Silk Roads comes an updated, timely, and visionary book about the dramatic and profound changes our world is undergoing right now - as seen from the perspective of the rising powers of the East.
"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.
What the critics say
"Provocative reading for students of geopolitical and economic trends looking for a glimpse at the new world to come." (Kirkus)
“Masterly mapping out of a new world order...Peter Frankopan has gone up in the world since his best-selling Silk Roads history was published to great acclaim in 2015 - and deservedly so.” (Justin Marozzi, Evening Standard)
“Frankopan has written another valuable and idiosyncratic book. He has the gift of perspective - the capacity to see the wood for the trees - which he combines with a Tolstoyan knack for weaving little details into the broader sweep of human affairs.” (Jamie Susskind, The Daily Telegraph)
“Frankopan is a brilliant guide to terra incognita.” (Niall Ferguson, Sunday Times)

I liked the book, BUT…
Eye opening…Well put together in understanding the current geopolitical world one finds its self in and it’s pack-full of geopolitical statements made by the big superpowers leading up to the current times we’re living in…
I own a paperback copy and can tell you that this audio book version is exclusive of some of the passages that are found in the paper back version of the book. The publushing date of this book is Nov, 2018. However the paperback version of this book from Amazon states it is of Jan.7 2020.

Loved the first book.
This collection of news clippings should have been a collection of essays in my humble opinion.
I have very much enjoyed the first book on a topic in which Peter Frankopan is undoubtedly an expert.
