SUMMARY:Library Lecture & Dinner - Peter Jackson
DESCRIPTION:\nPeter Jackson\npresents his new book\n\nFrom Genghis Khan to 
 Tamerlane: The Reawakening of Mongol Asia\nIn this account Peter traces Ta
 merlane’s rise to power against the backdrop of the decline of Mongol ru
 le. Jackson argues that Tamerlane\, a keen exponent of Mongol custom and t
 radition\, operated in Genghis Khan’s shadow and took care to draw paral
 lels between himself and his great precursor. But\, as a Muslim\, Tamerlan
 e drew on Islamic traditions\, and his waging of wars in the name of jihad
 \, whether sincere or not\, had a more powerful impact than those of any M
 uslim Mongol ruler before him.\nPeter Jackson is emeritus professor of med
 ieval history at Keele University and has written on the Crusades\, the ea
 stern Islamic world\, and the Mongols. His previous books include The Mong
 ols and the Islamic World and The Mongols and the West\, 1221–1410.\nPri
 ce includes a signed copy of the book\nMembers may book up to three guests
