This comprehensive history traces the region of Xinjiang from ancient times to the present, exploring its environmental, cultural, political, and economic transformations. Drawing on sources in multiple languages, the book details how Xinjiang — once a pivotal hub of the Silk Road and a crossroads of empires — has served as a bridge between China, Central Asia, and beyond. Millward offers an accessible yet scholarly narrative of shifting empires, ethnic and religious dynamics, and contemporary state-society challenges, making the work essential for understanding both historical and modern significance of Xinjiang.
