Download or read book Tatar Storm written by Tibor Gergely and published by Gergely Tibor . This book was released on 2020-03-01 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a sealed box uncovered in the ruins of a medieval castle, a manuscript is found.... Hungary, 1241: The Golden Horde of the Mongol Khan is gathered at the border ready to strike. Told through the eyes of Detre, a knight of King Bela IV, Tatar Storm is the epic story of the invasion that followed, and the heroic Hungarian defence of the gates of Christendom. The historic events of the invasion at Verecke, the sack of Pest and Vác, the massacre of the Cumans, the Battle of Muhi, the destruction of the Knights Templars and more are interwoven with Detre’s own story, and the valour and love which lead him inexorably to the Castle of Göd, outnumbered and besieged on all sides by the merciless Tatar Foe. “His majesty, Béla, as an act of piety, ordered that this box with its contents be put back in the cellar where it was found and buried as in a grave, then that the remains of castle Göd be demolished. Further, he forbade anyone from ever rebuilding it, so the heroic defenders may rest in peace. If, centuries from now, someone should find this chronicle then please give due reverence to these brave heroes of the past.” In prose rich with period detail Tibor Gergely paints a vivid picture of harsh times when a Knight’s honour was valued more highly than life itself.

Book Synopsis Cumans and Tatars by : István Vásáry
Download or read book Cumans and Tatars written by István Vásáry and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2005-03-24 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Cumans and the Tatars were nomadic warriors of the Eurasian steppe who exerted an enduring impact on the medieval Balkans. With this work, István Vásáry presents an extensive examination of their history from 1185 to 1365. The basic instrument of Cuman and Tatar political success was their military force, over which none of the Balkan warring factions could claim victory. As a consequence, groups of the Cumans and the Tatars settled and mingled with the local population in various regions of the Balkans. The Cumans were the founders of three successive Bulgarian dynasties (Asenids, Terterids and Shishmanids) and the Wallachian dynasty (Basarabids). They also played an active role in Byzantium, Hungary and Serbia, with Cuman immigrants being integrated into each country's elite. This book also demonstrates how the prevailing political anarchy in the Balkans in the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries made it ripe for the Ottoman conquest.

Book Synopsis The Routledge Handbook of the Mongols and Central-Eastern Europe by : Alexander V. Maiorov
Download or read book The Routledge Handbook of the Mongols and Central-Eastern Europe written by Alexander V. Maiorov and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-08-25 with total page 544 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Routledge Handbook of the Mongols and Central-Eastern Europe offers a comprehensive overview of the Mongols’ military, political, socio-economic and cultural relations with Central and Eastern European nations between the thirteenth and fifteenth centuries. The Mongol Empire was the largest contiguous land empire in history, and one which contributed to the establishment of political, commercial and cultural contacts between all Eurasian regions. The Golden Horde, founded in Eastern Europe by Chinggis Khan’s grandson, Batu, in the thirteenth century, was the dominant power in the region. For two hundred years, all of the countries and peoples of Central and Eastern Europe had to reckon with a powerful centralized state with enormous military potential. Some chose to submit to the Mongols whilst others defended their independence, but none could avoid the influence of this powerful empire. In this book, twenty-five chapters examine this crucial period in Central-Eastern European history, including trade, confrontation, and cultural and religious exchange between the Mongols and their neighbours. This book will be an essential reference for scholars and students of the Mongols, as well those interested in the political, social and economic history of medieval Central-Eastern Europe.
Download or read book Baghdad written by Justin Marozzi and published by Da Capo Press. This book was released on 2014-11-04 with total page 534 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over thirteen centuries, Baghdad has enjoyed both cultural and commercial pre-eminence, boasting artistic and intellectual sophistication and an economy once the envy of the world. It was here, in the time of the Caliphs, that the Thousand and One Nights were set. Yet it has also been a city of great hardships, beset by epidemics, famines, floods, and numerous foreign invasions which have brought terrible bloodshed. This is the history of its storytellers and its tyrants, of its philosophers and conquerors. Here, in the first new history of Baghdad in nearly 80 years, Justin Marozzi brings to life the whole tumultuous history of what was once the greatest capital on earth.

Book Synopsis Muslim National Communism in the Soviet Union by : Alexandre A. Bennigsen
Download or read book Muslim National Communism in the Soviet Union written by Alexandre A. Bennigsen and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 1980-09-15 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this study, Bennigsen and Wimbush trace the development of the doctrine of national communism in Central Asia and the Caucasus. At the heart of this doctrine—as elaborated by the Volga Tatar, Mir-Said Sultan Galiev—was the concept of "proletarian nations," as opposed to the traditional notion of a working class. With such ideological innovations, Sultan Galiev and his contemporaries were able to reconcile Marxist nationalisms and Islam and devise an "Eastern strategy" whereby the national revolution was to be spread. The authors show that the ideas of Muslim national communism persist in the land of their birth and have spread to such developing societies as China, Algeria, and Indonesia. This doctrine is an important factor in the ideological split and increasing tensions between industrial and nonindustrial nations, East and West, and now North and South, which grip the world communist movement.
