A sweeping maritime history of the vast sea connecting East Africa, the Arabian Peninsula, India and beyond, the work traces the sea-way as a major conveyor of trade, culture and empire. It explores how monsoon winds shaped seafaring, how ports and oceanic worlds emerged from exchange, and how the Indian Ocean came to be shaped by a dynamic interplay of people, power and environment.
