This comprehensive work offers a reexamination of Central Eurasia's pivotal role in global history. Beckwith traces the rise and fall of major nomadic empires such as the Scythians, Huns, Turks, Tibetans, and Mongols, highlighting their contributions to economic, scientific, and artistic developments. The book challenges traditional narratives by presenting Central Eurasia not as a periphery but as a dynamic center of civilization that significantly influenced neighboring regions.
