From its steppes, nomads fanned out across the continent long before recorded time. Its Silk Road linked the far reached of the known world. Here China met Greece, Persia, India, Byzantium, and the Arab East. But then the borders were sealed shut for more than a century.

The result is the first complete history of this story-book land.
