Description
Tamerlane or Timur-i-Lenk ('Timur the Lame') is one of the most extraordinary conquerors in history.
In the late 14th century his armies seized huge territories from the borders of Mongolia to Palestine and Anatolia. His passage was marked by massacres that outdid even those of the Mongols for sheer savagery. Timur's career was unequalled since Alexander the Great in terms of constant battlefield success. Only in his youth, while recovering his family estates south of Samarqand, did he face occasional defeat.
This is the remarkable story of Timur and details the organisation, tactics, arms and armour of his all-conquering army.
