Dr Baumer traces for us the first waves of Indo-European migrations of 4,000 years ago, Mongolian and Chinese advances and retreats from the east, Tibetan incursions from the south, the spread of the Uighurs from present-day Iran, and the Arab conquest from the south-west. This is followed by a detailed archaeological study of the major settlements along the major Silk Road route. The author makes extensive use of the accounts of the two major previous Western explorers, which form the platform for the author's own two expeditions in the 1990s. The commentary is a most satisfying blend of historical and contemporary accounts of archaeological discoveries, richly adorned with both recent and past black and white and colour photographs, and accompanied by maps and archaeological site plans for several of the settlements.
