'Brain-stretching . . . pulsating . . . irresistable' The Sunday
Times 'Deeply researched and elegantly written - essential reading'
Dan Jones 'Erudite, often thrilling and much-needed' Daily
Telegraph How the Mongol invasions of the Near East reshaped the
balance of world power in the Middle Ages. For centuries, the
Crusades have been central to the story of the medieval Near East,
but these religious wars are only part of the region's complex
history. As The Mongol Storm reveals, during the same era the Near
East was utterly remade by another series of wars: the Mongol
invasions. In a single generation, the Mongols conquered vast
swaths of the Near East and upended the region's geopolitics. Amid
the chaos of the Mongol onslaught, long-standing powers such as the
Byzantines, the Seljuk Turks, and the crusaders struggled to
survive, while new players such as the Ottomans arose to fight
back. The Mongol conquests forever transformed the region, while
forging closer ties among societies spread across Eurasia. This is
the definitive history of the Mongol assault on the Near East and
its enduring global consequences.
