Reading "The Silk Roads" by Peter Frankopan.
I've long been fascinated by the history of the area that presently causes the world so much trouble. This new and highly acclaimed book takes a new look at what happened where the link east and west, north and south from the time of the Greeks onwards. Very much food for thought and makes me look at the troubled relationship between the Christians, Jews and Moslems with a new perspective.
Worth reading, not at all dry and quite compelling.
