The Early Empires of Central Asia: A Study of the Scythians and the Huns and the Part They Played in World History

Realizing that a knowledge of the Scythians and the Huns is necessary for an adequate understanding of the countries of eastern Europe and the Near East, McGovern has written a comprehensive survey of all that is known–racial, social, and cultural as well as political–regarding the inhabitants of central Asia, from the earliest times (c. 3000 B.C.) down to the sixth century A.D.
