Bloomsbury presents After Tamerlane by John Darwin, read by Michael Hajiatonis.

Tamerlane, the Ottomans, the Mughals, the Manchus, the British, the Japanese, the Nazis, and the Soviets: All built empires meant to last forever; all were to fail. But, as John Darwin shows in this magisterial book, their empire-building created the world we know today.

From the death of Tamerlane in 1405, to America's rise to world "hyperpower," to the resurgence of China and India as global economic powers, After Tamerlane is a grand historical narrative that offers a new perspective on the past, present, and future of empires.©2008 John Darwin (P)2026 Bloomsbury Publishing PLC

Reseñas de la crítica

2009 Outstanding Academic Title
Undoubtedly a great work, a book that goes truly global in chronicling the history of one of our abiding concerns: the pull and limitations of absolute power. It forces the reader to rethink commonly held assumptions about our collective past. For that alone, it should be read.
A work of massive erudition.
A wonderful and imaginative addition to the select library of books on world history that one really wants to possess, and dip into, for ever.
Nicely balanced between sweeping overview and illuminating detail, this lucid survey complicates and deepens our understanding of modern world history.
