This is history most relevant for today. -Dr. John J. Hamre, President and CEO, Center for Strategic and International Studies Empires of Eurasia contributes to a discerning, productive discussion of pressing contemporary challenges. Ambitious in scope and depth, this timely, highly readable book will be a foundational text for international relations, area studies and national security curricula for many years to come. - Matthew Rojansky, Director of the Wilson Center's Kennan Institute Mankoff brings an extraordinary understanding of history, geography, language, culture, and politics to this sweeping and ambitious book. -James Goldgeier, American University In a narrative infused with historical depth and incisive analysis, Jeffrey Mankoff takes the reader through the geopolitics of a region we call Eurasia - still contested by Russia, Turkey, China, and Iran and burdened by old conflicts and contemporary convulsions of great power, imperial, competition. This is a must read to understand the backstory of conflicts from Crimea to Xinjiang. -Fiona Hill, author of There Is Nothing for You Here
