The Rise and Rule of Tamerlane Book by Beatrice Forbes Manz

The Rise and Rule of Tamerlane by Beatrice Forbes Manz is an account of the conqueror Tamerlane, who built an empire stretching from Central Asia to the Middle East.

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.
