The Empire of the Steppes: A History of Central Asia is a 1939 book written by French historian René Grousset covering the history of Central Asia from ancient times through 1757.[1] The book covers a long arc of history, from the nomadic travels of the ancient Scythians to the final empires of the Mongols in the 18th century.[2] The work was translated into English in 1952 by Naomi Walford and republished in 1970 by Rutgers University Press.[Note 1][3][4] Designed for both the lay reader searching for an introduction to the subject, as well as historians of the subject, the book covers a sweep of history covering ten centuries and centers around the careers of three major historical figures in Central Asian history, Attila the Hun, Genghis Khan, and Timur.[5]
