The Silk Roads: A New History of the World

I loved this book and found it at times very difficult to put down. The middle section was a bit laborious but towards the end and our modern times I really enjoyed.

Peter gives a very consise history of the world from the early abrahamatic religions to 9/11 and how different people, culture, religions and raw resources have shaped the world we live in today and how we got here.

Well worth a read if you have a week or two and have an interest in our shared history.
