Book Synopsis Sword of Persia by : Michael Axworthy
Download or read book Sword of Persia written by Michael Axworthy and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2010-03-24 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nader Shah, ruler of Persia from 1736 to 1747, embodied ruthless ambition, energy, military brilliance, cynicism and cruelty. His reign was filled with bloodshed, betrayal and horror. Yet, Nader Shah is central to Iran's early modern history. From a shepherd boy, he rose to liberate his country from foreign occupation, and make himself Shah. He took eighteenth century Iran in a trajectory from political collapse and partition to become the dominant power in the region, briefly opening the prospect of a modernising state that could have resisted colonial intervention in Asia. He recovered all the territory lost by his predecessors, including Herat and Kandahar, and went on to conquer Moghul Delhi, plundering the enormous treasures of India. Nader commanded the most powerful military force in Asia, if not the world. He repeatedly defeated the armies of Ottoman Turkey, the preeminent State of Islam, overran most of what is now Iraq and threatened to take Baghdad on several occasions. But from the zenith of his success he declined into illness, insane avarice and horrific savagery, committing terrible atrocities against the Persian people, his friends, and even his family, until he finally died as violently as he had lived. The "Sword of Persia" recreates the story of a remarkable, ruthless man, capable of both charm and brutality. It is a rich narrative, full of dramatic incident, including much new research into original Iranian and other material, which will prove indispensable to historians and students. The book includes many contemporary illustrations, and maps.

Book Synopsis The Rise and Fall of Nader Shah by : Willem M. Floor
Download or read book The Rise and Fall of Nader Shah written by Willem M. Floor and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By any measure, Nader Shah -- founder of the Afsharid Dynasty -- ranks as a towering figure in Iranian history. Rising from the humblest of origins, he became a military commander of genius, restored an embattled Persia to imperial greatness, and proceeded to wield the power of the throne with a ruthlessness that approached derangement. Yet much about the man and his tumultuous times remains obscure. This book peers into the shadows by drawing on unusual source materials -- unpublished letters and reports written by the staff of the Dutch East India Company, who watched in dismay as the tyrant sacrificed the nation's economic health (and Dutch hopes for trade) to feed his war machine. The book looks at his entire life: how a shepherd boy mastered fighting skills, assembled armies, reunited Iran and freed it from Afghan occupation, invaded and plundered both India and Ottoman Turkey, and crowned himself Nader Shah of Iran after usurping the Safavid throne in 1736. Because there are no other contemporary reports, published or unpublished, of this length and geographical scope, much of the information offered here is unique. Nader Shah, who not only ruined neighbouring countries but also his own, is depicted in all his fury and bloodthirstiness -- traits often glossed over by later court chroniclers. At times the Dutch observers are so sickened by his total disregard for the well-being of his country and for human life that they pray to God to release Iran from his hold. Release came in 1747, when he was taken by surprise in his bed and assassinated -- but not before first killing two of the attackers. For the first time in English, "The Rise and Fall of Nader Shah" makes these primary-source eyewitness reports of an important period in Iranian history available to historians and students alike.

Book excerpt: This thesis is historical rather than biographical. The story of Nadir's life, after his rise to power, is to so large an extent that of Iran as well that it has been necessary to relate the history of that country during the period of Nadir's prominence; further, I have had to give, in outline, the course of events in adjacent countries, in so far as this was affected by Nadir's policy and acts. Ranging as he did from beyond Qars in the west to Delhi in the east, threatening Russia for a time from Daghistan, and seeking dominion in Turkistan and in Arabia, Nadir was undeniably a figure of great international importance for several years. In compiling the thesis, I have utilised, as far as possible, purely contemporary authorities. When describing important events, I have endeavoured to draw my facts from more than one source; in fact, I have, throughout, sought to coordinate the Iranian and other authorities available. I have tried to be strictly impartial, neither seeking to gloss over Nadir's ill deeds nor to magnify his good actions. In the course of my investigations, I was fortunate enough to come upon a fairly considerable amount of hitherto unutilised material notably, at the India Office and the Public Record Office. Events have been recorded chronologically, except in the last chapter where, in the appraisement of Nadir's qualities, I found that some recapitulation was necessary. I have devoted some space to the activities and tribulations of the East India Company and of the Russia Company but, in order not to cumber the main narrative unduly, I have included in an appendix the bulk of the information respecting these two Companies. Besides giving a bibliographical introduction, I have compiled a bibliography of the sources consulted, and I have had a series of maps prepared.
Download or read book Nadir Shah written by Yunus Oghuz and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2010-06 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nadir shah's name went down in history also as a great reformer of religion. It is knotwo parts; in the West the Turks of Azerbaijan were far from the Turks of the Ottomans who believed in the faith of Sunnite Henefi of Islam, in the east from the Turks of the Middle Asia. Afterwards, Shah Ismayil's religious reforms gave a chance to the Persian nationalists to seize the power. wn from the history that the Safavids had come to the power by preferring the ideology of Shiite. As soon as Shah Ismayil came to the power, came to the throne in Tabriz, he carried out a religious reform, and obliged the population of the provinces of Azerbaijan and Persian to adopt Shiite. Though he the big ruinous wars lasted for ten years; The cunning power centers of that time could use properly the chance of the difference of faith between the brotherly countries. He abolished Alevilik which was adopted by the dynasty of Safavids as an official religious faith, and made the faith of Jafari official. During his time Azerbaijan restored itshad established a big state, the religious reform carried out by him, divided the Turkish world into The discrimination of faith made the Turks of both Azerbaijan and Turkey, be face to face, and caused to former might again, and in the world it became the second mighty state after the state of Ottomans. But it didn't last much. In 1747, Nadir shah was assassinated by the captain of unfortunate Motherland and the historical facts. This history has been living in the heart of any Azerbaijani and throws light on its future. Up to Yunus Oghuz's this novel, there were written different works about Nadir shah. But except Yunus Oghuz's novel, in none of those works Nadir shah didn't unite the historical lands of the country, or didn't reinstate the old Turkish traditions, and at last as a connective, and reformer. Up this time, especially, during the Soviet period, the real heroes of Azerbaijan were forgotten, they were disgraced underhis guard at the age of sixty-one. It was the beginning of the fall of the empire of Azerbaijan which could be able to last till 1925. The novel of "Nadir shah" by Yunus Oguz reflects wholly one part of the glorious history of our different " brands", the personalities who put the foundation of the division by the policy pursued by them, were shown to the people as heroes. The name of Nadir shah Avshar was given in all the Oghuz, Nadir shah isn't valued as an inexperienced ruler who didn't know what the diplomacy was, like in the works written in the former times. On the contrary, in the novel it is clearly seen that Nadir shah understood the tricky policy of the neighboring states for to make Azerbaijan and Turkey become face to face, and he didn't agree with them. In the work it has been given a broad place to Nadir shah's religious reforms. It is true, Nadir shah wasn't able to carry out till the end all those reforms, his policy of to put an end to the discrimination of faith, to unite all the Turkish world. Yunus Oghuz shows that Nadir shah wanted to put an end the difference of Shiite-Sunnite in the wholly Islam. But the conservative scientists, confessors, and the political circles that set up their power basing on the difference of faith, put up resistance to his plans. In the work, the death of the great Azerbaijani ruler has been written in an interesting form. The investigations of the last period show that the Russian intelligeliterature as a "blood-sucker Iranian shah" and "the cruel ruler". Firstly, in the historical novel of " Nadir shah" written by the writer and publicist Yunus Oghuz, this mighty Azerbaijani ruler is characterized as a great statesman who lovepower after a half century after Nadir shah, were killed by the way of terror for they laid obstacles the Russians' plans. It is natural, all these d his motherland, who wished the integrity of Azerbaijan and Turkish world, as a builder o

Download or read book Koh-i-Noor written by William Dalrymple and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2017-09-12 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the internationally acclaimed and bestselling historians William Dalrymple and Anita Anand, the first comprehensive and authoritative history of the Koh-i-Noor diamond, arguably the most celebrated jewel in the world. On March 29, 1849, the ten-year-old leader of the Sikh kingdom of the Punjab was ushered into the magnificent Mirrored Hall at the center of the British fort in Lahore, India. There, in a formal Act of Submission, the frightened but dignified child handed over to the British East India Company swathes of the richest land in India and the single most valuable object in the subcontinent: the celebrated Koh-i-Noor diamond, otherwise known as the Mountain of Light. To celebrate the acquisition, the British East India Company commissioned a history of the diamond woven together from the gossip of the Delhi Bazaars. From that moment forward, the Koh-i-Noor became the most famous and mythological diamond in history, with thousands of people coming to see it at the 1851 Great Exhibition and still more thousands repeating the largely fictitious account of its passage through history. Using original eyewitness accounts and chronicles never before translated into English, Dalrymple and Anand trace the true history of the diamond and disperse the myths and fantastic tales that have long surrounded this awe-inspiring jewel. The resulting history of south and central Asia tells a true tale of greed, conquest, murder, torture, colonialism, and appropriation that shaped a continent and the Koh-i-Noor itself.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In this book, the first in English about Nasir al-Din Shah, Abbas Amanat gives us both a biography of the man and an analysis of the institution of monarchy in modern Iran. Amanat poses a fundamental question: how did monarchy, the center-piece of an ancient political order, withstand and adjust to the challenges of modern times, both at home and abroad? Nasir al-Din Shah's life and career, his upbringing and personality, and his political conduct provide remarkable material for answering this question.

Book excerpt: Following on from his award-winning book on the history of ancient Persia, Kaveh Farrokh goes on to examine Iran's wartime history from the Safavid dynasty of the 16th and 17th century through to the 1979 Revolution and beyond. He shows how the early military successes were followed by centuries of defeat as the external influences of nations like Russia and Britain began to shape the internal history of Iran, before unraveling the complex, violent 20th century military history of the country, which encompasses two world wars, regional movements, foreign intervention, anti-government revolts, conflicts on the Soviet border, a revolution and an eight-year war with Iraq. Illustrated with contemporary illustrations and photographs this book provides an unparalleled investigation into the bloody martial history of Iran.
