Críticas

"Distinguished historian Peter Jackson offers a fresh and fascinating consideration of the years of infidel Mongol rule in Western Asia, drawing from an impressive array of primary sources as well as modern studies to demonstrate how Islam not only survived the savagery of the conquest, but spread throughout the empire." -Asian Art Newspaper "Jackson's survey is a comprehensive and deeply erudite study of how the Mongol empire shaped and was shaped by Muslims and Islamic culture." -Christopher P. Atwood, American Historical Review "Peter Jackson's superb and monumental study of the impacts of the Mongol conquests on the Islamic world is an impressive achievement, and one for which students of Mongol and Islamic history will be grateful for years to come."- Devin DeWeese, Journal of Islamic Studies `At last, we now have a thorough scholarly analysis examining the initial Mongolian conquest and final collapse of their alien regime. Peter Jackson's The Mongols and the Islamic World is the definitive resource text on the Mongol presence and influence in Central Asia and the Muslim world. It is essential reading for anyone who wants to understand the history of the Muslims or the Mongols.' - Jack Weatherford, author of Genghis Khan and the Making of the Modern World `This is a work of great erudition which benefits from Peter Jackson's life-long mastery of both the Muslim and the European sources for the history of the Mongols. The book is a must for any scholar or student interested in the Mongol Empire.'- Professor Michal Biran, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem 'Written with a depth and a degree of insight never previously achieved, this accessible study is the most important book on the history of the Mongol Empire to have been published in years.' - David Morgan, author of The Mongols

Reseña del editor

An epic historical consideration of the Mongol conquest of Western Asia and the spread of Islam during the years of non-Muslim rule The Mongol conquest of the Islamic world began in the early thirteenth century when Genghis Khan and his warriors overran Central Asia and devastated much of Iran. Distinguished historian Peter Jackson offers a fresh and fascinating consideration of the years of infidel Mongol rule in Western Asia, drawing from an impressive array of primary sources as well as modern studies to demonstrate how Islam not only survived the savagery of the conquest, but spread throughout the empire. This unmatched study goes beyond the well-documented Mongol campaigns of massacre and devastation to explore different aspects of an immense imperial event that encompassed what is now Iran, Iraq, Turkey, and Afghanistan, as well as Central Asia and parts of eastern Europe. It examines in depth the cultural consequences for the incorporated Islamic lands, the Muslim experience of Mongol sovereignty, and the conquerors' eventual conversion to Islam.
