When Asia Was the World: Traveling Merchants, Scholars, Warriors, and Monks Who Created the "Riches of the "East"
reviewed on + 3 more book reviews


This book captures a factual journey through the early development of the entire Asian continent.

The history reveals the beginnings of the interior conflicts and aggressions of the different cultures, belief systems, and life styles.

As I read this book I realized how applicable the contents are to the current situation with Iran, Iraq, Syria, and the other countries of this region.

I encourage, especially history buffs, to read this outstanding documentation.
