| Summary | "The Heart of Asia: A History of Russian Turkestan and the Central Asian Khanates" by Francis Henry Skrine and Edward Denison Ross is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book explores Central Asia’s rich and complex history, focusing on Russian Turkestan and the various khanates that have existed in the region from ancient times through the period of Russian expansion. The authors aim to provide a comprehensive look at the diverse nationalities, cultures, and significant events that shaped this pivotal area of the world. The beginning of the work sets the stage for the historical journey through Central Asia, emphasizing its status as a cradle of civilization. It outlines the starting point of Turkestan’s history, detailing the earliest references to the region and the influences of major historical figures and empires like the Persians and Alexander the Great. It introduces key concepts and locations, such as Bactria and Soghdiana, and hints at the complex interplay of various cultures and peoples that will be explored in subsequent chapters. The authors delineate the historical timeline, offering a thoughtful examination of how Turkestan evolved through myriad conquests and governing entities over the centuries.
