Peter Jackson, 2023
This book chronicles the emergence of a new world order under Tamerlane, arising from the fragmentation of the Mongol Empire. By the mid-fourteenth century, the vast empire founded by Genghis Khan faced significant challenges across its territories. Into this period of decline stepped Tamerlane, the last major conqueror from Inner Asia. Peter Jackson's authoritative account details Tamerlane's ascent to power, highlighting his strategic use of Mongol customs and traditions. Tamerlane consciously drew parallels between himself and Genghis Khan, while also integrating Islamic traditions and employing the concept of jihad in his campaigns.
