About the book

Tamerlane, His Rise and Rule examines the life of Timur, the fourteenth-century conqueror who created a vast empire across Central Asia, Persia and parts of the Middle East. The book traces his rise from regional warlord to one of the most feared military leaders of his age, exploring his campaigns, political methods and cultural patronage. It also considers the enormous destruction caused by his conquests and the legacy of the Timurid world.
