Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Around the year 985, a Turkish commander quarrelled with his lord on the banks of the Syr Darya and led his people south to the frontier of Islam. Within a single lifetime, his grandsons had shattered the Ghaznavid army in the desert at Dandanaqan and entered Baghdad as protectors of the caliph, and one of them had been crowned King of the East and the West.The Rise of the Seljuk Empire tells the story of the Seljuks' astonishing rise and of the problem their victory created. Steppe warriors had conquered an empire of irrigated fields and tax registers, and they needed Persian scribes to govern it. Through the careers of Tughril, Alp Arslan, and the great vizier Nizam al-Mulk, Patrick Kilfane traces the long struggle between the tent and the chancery. Slave armies were raised to balance free kinsmen, land grants were designed to tame soldiers, and a frontier policy sent restless Turkomans west against Byzantium.That policy was meant to protect the heartland of Iran. Instead it opened the road to Manzikert, broke the defences of Roman Anatolia, and created a Turkish homeland that outlived the empire that never intended it.Vivid and authoritative, this is the story of how a nomad people carried the steppe into a new world.
