A fascinating follow up book in which Frankopan investigates the growth in power and reengagement with the world, of Asia, especially China and India at the same time that the US and Europe become more isolationist more nationalist. While the US reneges on treaty‘s and creates trade wars, China creates the Belt and Road project creating maritime and rail links across Asia and Europe effectively recreating the Silk Road.

This was fascinating and I really recommend it. I don‘t think I‘ve read a modern politics book from a perspective that downplays Europe and north America so much, and i definitely want to read more! If you‘re interested in international relations and economics and you get usa, Britain, Germany from the news but don‘t know where to start on India, China, turkey, Iran, give this a try! I hope this will@be a great jumping off point for more reading
