Tamerlane: The Ultimate Warrior

From humble beginnings, Tamerlane, the ancient Turki-Mongol conqueror, rose to become the scourge of his time and changed the course of history. The name Tamerlane runs the gamut of human emotions, evoking in many a revulsion for the devil incarnate, in others, an appreciation for the benefactor of millions. By using accounts from Tamerlane's detractors and his admirers, Roy Stier has captured an amazing story that gives credence to the old adage, "truth is stranger than fiction." Tamerlane, the Ultimate Warrior is presented as a fascinating series of events and captures the reader in the first comprehensive view of this historical figure who dominated Asia and made Europe tremble.
