About this listen

In this ambitious audiobook, best-selling author Sanjeev Sanyal chronicles the grand sweep of history from East Africa to Australia, conjuring the great cities of Angkor and Vijayanagar, medieval Arab empires, and Chinese "treasure fleets" in rich, vivid detail. He explores remote archaeological sites, maritime trading networks, and half-forgotten oral tales to challenge established historical narratives with fresh evidence.

Shining new light on medieval geopolitics and long-lost cities, The Ocean of Churn is a mesmerizing journey into the heart of a vibrant civilization.

Extremely interesting & well written (and read)

Amazing book. I even got the physical copy. This is a must read & must listen. Can definitely be made into a Netflix or Prime docu-history show.

An unputdownable treatise on the history of Indian Ocean

Don’t bother reading this review. Instead Just go ahead and read /listen to this actual book. This book is filled with unbelievable stories from history that will take you by surprise on almost every pages. This book changed my perception about history once and for all. Kudos to Sanjeev Sanyal

Makes me love history once again!

Great book and I wish I had been taught history this way. I’ve been listening to this book on my drive to drop off and pick up my 3.5 yr old daughter and I have been narrating a simplified version of this book to her!

It also challenges the seemingly half truths about Ashoka, Tipu sultan, Rhodes etc.

Fascinating, honest and truly adds to knowledge

The book is adventurous, honest and brave. Although it didn’t labour the points but it does makes you wonder about unilateral absolute truths that we hold so dear to us as a rock of certainty in our tumultuous times. The cyclical and templated nature of history is striking to see unfolding and a little saddening to be honest.
Great reading and I look forward to more books from the respected author.
