Description:'His looks do menace heaven and dare the gods.His fiery eyes are fixed upon the earth.'MarloweThe last of the great nomad conquerors, Tamerlane was a man of enormous ambition and achievement who left no powerful contemporary ruler unchallenged. He rose to power in 1370 on the ruins of the Mongol Empire and, until his death, campaigned almost unceasingly. He led these campaigns personally, despite the deformity of his right arm and leg that gave him his nickname of Temur the Lame. All his achievements were on a larger scale than life, from the calculated ferocity shown to rebellious cities, to the buildings of his magnificent capital of Samarqand. In the winter of 1405 he died on his way to conquer China.Beatrice Forbes Manz, in the first full scholarly study of this extraordinary person, looks at Tamerlane both as the founder of a nomad conquest dynasty and as a supremely talented individual.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
