The barbarian nomads of the Eurasian steppes played a decisive role in world history,
but thelr achievements have gone largely unnoticed.
These tribes produced some of the world’s greatest conquerors,
built long-lasting empires, facilitated global trade and disseminated
religions, technology, knowledge and goods of every description across Europe, China and the Middle East.
in this enthralling new history, Professor Kenneth W. Harl draws on a lifetime of scholarship
to vividly recreate the lives of these peoples from their beginnings to the early modern age.
