First published by E.J. Brill (The Netherlands) in 1969 as Geschichte der Islamischen Länder, this volume is still one of the few studies to deal — authoritatively, comprehensively, and clearly to the non-specialist — with the Mongols. It provides a lucid account of the empires of the two greatest Mongol empire-builders, Jingiz (Genghis) Khan and Timur (Tamerlane), and their successor states in Western Eurasia. Arthur Waldron’s new introduction discusses the contribution of the Mongols and other nomadic societies to world history.

Industry Reviews

“Professor Spuler, one of the outstanding historians of our time . . . has been able to embody a wealth of material in a small number of pages. . . . His book is particularly interesting and deserves to be mentioned among the best manuals of Muslim history.” —Middle East Forum

“The author gives a bird’s-eye view of both the Mongols and the countries with which they came in contact and conflict: The Great Mongol Empire (Genghis Khan and successors), The Ilkhans in Persia, The Mongols in Central Asia, Egypt—the Mameluks, Timur, India Before and After Timur, The Muslims in Eastern Europe (Golden Horde), The Russian Domination, The Crimea. A condensed but comprehensive history of the Mongol period, it is invaluable as a reference work . . . useful to any student.” —Journal of Asian Studies

“Spuler succeeds in disciplining immense material to such an extent that the reader finds his way effortlessly through the maze of names and events. The narrative has the virtues of clarity and comprehensiveness.” —Journal of Near Eastern Studies
