Excellent- More about From Genghis Khan to Tamerlane: The Reawakening of Mongol Asia
The Mongol Empire was in crisis by the mid-fourteenth century, and Tamerlane emerged as the last major conqueror from Inner Asia. He drew on Islamic traditions and waged wars in the name of jihad, which had a more powerful impact than those of any Muslim Mongol ruler before him.

The Mongol Empire, which had been established by Genghis Khan in the mid-fourteenth century, faced a significant crisis by the middle of the century. The Mongol Ilkhanate had collapsed in Iran and Iraq, the Chinese Mongol rulers were under threat from the native Ming dynasty, and the Golden Horde and the Central Asian Mongols were plagued by internal strife. Amidst this turmoil, a powerful warlord named Tamerlane emerged as the last major conqueror to originate from Inner Asia.
In this comprehensive account, Peter Jackson delves into the rise of Tamerlane against the backdrop of the decline of Mongol rule. Jackson argues that Tamerlane, who was deeply influenced by Mongol customs and traditions, operated in the shadow of Genghis Khan and sought to draw similarities between himself and his illustrious predecessor. However, as a Muslim, Tamerlane drew upon Islamic traditions and his waging of wars in the name of jihad, whether genuine or not, had a more profound impact than those of any Muslim Mongol ruler before him.
