A captivating history of civilization that reveals the central role of the horse in culture, commerce, and conquest.

No animal is so entangled in human history as the horse. The thread starts in prehistory, with a slight, shy animal, hunted for food. Domesticating the horse allowed early humans to settle the vast Eurasian steppe; later, their horses enabled new forms of warfare, encouraged long-distance trade routes, and ended up acquiring deep cultural and religious significance.Over time, horses came to power mighty empires in Iran, Afghanistan, China, India, and, later, Russia. Genghis Khan and the thirteenth-century Mongols offer the most famous example, but from ancient Assyria and Persia, to the seventeenth-century Mughals, to the high noon of colonialism in the early twentieth century, horse breeding was indispensable to conquest and statecraft.Scholar of Asian history David Chaffetz tells the story of how the horse made rulers, raiders, and traders interchangeable, providing a novel explanation for the turbulent history of the “Silk Road,” which might be better called the Horse Road. Drawing on recent research in fields including genetics and forensic archeology, Chaffetz presents a lively history of the great horse empires that shaped civilization.

Recenzijas

"[ D]eeply researched, elegantly written" -- The Economist "A thrilling trip through 2,000 years in the rise of empires. " -- Robert Sullivan - The New York Times Book Review "A wise and jaunty chronicle of the role played by horses in the rise of empires." -- Tunku Varadarajan - Wall Street Journal "[ An] engaging history... David Chaffetz makes a convincing case for why no other animal has had such a profound impact on human history" -- Victor Mallet - Financial Times "A dog may be humanitys best friend, but the horse is certainly the greatest ally. With the strength of horses added to their own modest physical abilities, humans radically changed everything from agriculture and transportation to sports and warfare. From milking to marauding, David Chaffetzs Raiders, Rulers, and Traders takes the reader on a well-paced ride through the history of this revolutionary and emotional alliance of human and animal." -- Jack Weatherford, best-selling author of Genghis Khan and the Making of the Modern World "A fascinating, compelling, and scholarly history of horses, raiders, and rulers that brings the great horse-powered empires of Central Asia to life and places the horse at the center of world history where it belongs." -- Simon Sebag Montefiore, best-selling author of The World: A Family History of Humanity "[ A] chronicle of horses and people." -- The Economist

David Chaffetz, Asian Review of Books contributor, member of the Royal Society for Asian Affairs, and author of A Journey through Afghanistan and Three Asian Divas, has traveled in Asia for over forty years. He lives in Lisbon and Paris.
