The brief text accompanying each set of maps isn't enough to provide much context, and the maps themselves consist mostly of arrows pointing in all directions showing routes on invasions, etc. Nor are they particularly attractive maps to begin with. This book can be of some use while you are reading history (e.g., The Silk Roads by Peter Frankopan), but overall it is poorly designed and mostly a disappointment.
