Summary:

In-depth focus on Asian countries in their regional context distinguishes this historical overview of a continent whose culture and history is complex and multifaceted. Such topics as migration, early settlements, the formation of kingdoms, Islamic penetration, and the advent of Western powers are included in the coverage of the ancient and medieval period. Current events such as the subversion of democracies, military rule, ethnic conflicts, movements toward the restoration of democracies, oppression of minorities, and the possibilities of nuclear war demonstrate the competing interests of groups and ideologies on the continent.
