Beatrice Forbes Manz Power, Politics and Religion in Timurid Iran (Cambridge Studies in Islamic Civilization

Power, Politics and Religion in Timurid Iran by Beatrice Forbes Manz is a study of power, politics and religion in Timurid Iran.

The vast steppe of Central Asia produced some of history’s most formidable conquerors — and some of its greatest traders. This book follows the nomadic peoples, empires and trade routes that connected China, Persia and Europe for centuries.

Key themes include:

• Nomadic life and warfare on the steppe
• Empires from the Mongols to Timur
• The Silk Road and the trade in ideas
• How steppe peoples shaped settled empires

Who should read it: readers interested in Central Asia, the Mongols and the history of trade.
