Tamerlane, the Ottomans, the Mughals, the Manchus, the British, the
Soviets, the Japanese and the Nazis. All built empires they hoped
would last forever: all were destined to fail. But, as John Darwin
shows in his magnificent book, their empire building created the
world we know today. From the death of Tamerlane in 1405, last of
the 'world conquerors', to the rise and fall of European empires,
and from America's growing colonial presence to the resurgence of
India and China as global economic powers, After Tamerlane provides
a wonderfully intriguing perspective on the past, present and
future of empires.
