The Age of Decline and Revival (Volume 4) Christoph Baumer
NEW
In the concluding volume of his acclaimed Central Asia quartet, Christoph Baumer shows how China in the east, and Russia in the northwest, succeeded in throwing off the Mongol yoke to become the masters of their own previous rulers. He suggests that, as traditional transcontinental trade routes declined in importance, it was the cold war between Imperial Russia and Great Britain which finally brought Central Asia back into play as a region of strategic importance. This epic history concludes with an assessment of the transition to modern independence of the Central Asian states and their struggle to contain radical Islamism. 352 PAGES 289 X 237MM MAY 2018 9781788310499 HARDBACK £30/$39.50
