Between Oxus and Jumna

Between the rivers of Oxus and Jumna (that is from Iran through Afghanistan, Pakistan and Northern India) there existed 2000 years ago an area nearly blank in contemporary maps. For 500 years it remained virtually terra incognito. While the maps have long since been filled in, the history has not. Now the author, during his lifetime a prodigious digger for facts, tells the story of those lost centuries. "Arnold Toynbee traveled the inaccessible and rugged terrain extensively and takes us with him in his tale...fascinating to anyone with a love of history and adventure." (Publisher's Source)
