Military technology, finance, religion, language, crusades This work is a comprehensive tale of the empires of the Middle East before, during and after the advent of the Mongols. It deals largely with the Mongols who reached the Middle East, with little other than background about groups to the east and north except as the interacted with those invading Anatolia, Syria and surrounding areas. This is history told mainly in terms of battles lost and won, changes in dynasties and borders, diplomacy and civil wars. It contains little about the mode of life of the Mongols other than that they were nomads, their beliefs other than that they believed they were fated to conquer the world. Of their long-term effect on history we learn mainly that they made Europeans aware of how large and rich Eurasia was, created the conditions for Turkish rule and contributed to the downfall of the Crusader states in Palestine. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
"The Mongol Storm is an epic account of violent conflict unfolding against the vibrant backdrop of the Seljuk Turks' magnificent garden palaces, mighty Crusader fortresses, Egyptian pyramids, Damascus' sprawling markets, and the vast Mongol wagon cities. Vividly written and vast in scope, it completely revises our understanding of the Mongols and the world of the Middle Ages"-- Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
