Reviews
'Professor Andre Wink offers a thrilling survey of two millennia's worth of history across the Indo-Islamic world. He presents a model of transnational and environmental history writing. It will be a valuable resource for scholars and teachers of South Asian, Central Asian and Islamic world history.' Nandini Chatterjee, University of Exeter
'Bold, ambitious and iconoclastic. Wink's sweeping history tackles big questions head-on in an important and often daring re-casting of the Indo-Islamic world.' Peter Frankopan, University of Oxford
'This is an impressive masterpiece of synthesis. By integrating the histories of settled and nomadic societies, the steppes and the seas, Islamic empires and European trading companies, Wink makes a momentous intervention in the field of global history.' Jos Gommans, Leiden University
