Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. In the heart of civilization, the greatest acts of savagery were born. The lands of Persia, Afghanistan, and the Middle East were the cradle of culture-a dazzling crossroads of science, poetry, and faith, connected by the fabled Silk Road. But this crucible of brilliance was also a playgroun…d for monsters, a stage for the most ambitious and ruthless conquerors the world has ever known. Swords of the Sands is a visceral journey into the sagas of the titans who carved their empires from the dust and blood of this ancient world. In these pages, you will witness the rise and fall of: Hulegu Khan: The Mongol destroyer who drowned Baghdad's "House of Wisdom" in the Tigris, making the river run black with the ink of a million books and red with the blood of its scholars.Timur the Lame: The lame devil who perfected terror, building gruesome pyramids from the 70,000 skulls of those who dared to defy him.Nader Shah: The last great Asian conqueror, who sacked Delhi, stole the Peacock Throne and the Koh-i-Noor diamond, and descended into a paranoid madness.Mahmud of Ghazni: The idol-smashing Sultan who launched seventeen brutal raids into India, shattering sacred temples for faith and fortune.Ismail I: The boy-king who saw himself as a god, founded the Safavid dynasty, and drank from the gilded skull of his defeated enemy. From the White Hun who killed a Persian King of Kings to the modern warlord who defied a superpower, this book chronicles the unvarnished history of power. It is an epic of masterful strategy, unspeakable cruelty, and the timeless, bloody truth that in the lands of the Silk Road, legacies are not built-they are taken by the sword.
