Islamic Gunpowder Empires provides readers with a history of
Islamic civilization in the early modern world through a
comparative examination of Islam's three greatest empires: the
Ottomans (centered in what is now Turkey), the Safavids (in modern
Iran), and the Mughals (ruling the Indian subcontinent). Author
Douglas Streusand explains the origins of the three empires;
compares the ideological, institutional, military, and economic
contributors to their success; and analyzes the causes of their
rise, expansion, and ultimate transformation and decline. Streusand
depicts the three empires as a part of an integrated international
system extending from the Atlantic to the Straits of Malacca,
emphasizing both the connections and the conflicts within that
system. He presents the empires as complex polities in which Islam
is one political and cultural component among many. The treatment
of the Ottoman, Safavid, and Mughal empires incorporates
contemporary scholarship, dispels common misconceptions, and
provides an excellent platform for further study.
