Bücher von Gerard Chaliand

A study of the nomadic peoples of the Mongol Empire from the fifth century BC to the 15th century AD. It covers the early nomadic populations of Eurasia, military fronts of the Altaic Nomads, the nomad conquerors who brought about the Ottoman Empire, and Russia and China after the Mongols.

Gerard Chaliand narrates the major events that followed the Spanish conquest of Mexico and Peru, and seeks to make meaningful the strict chronicle of a conquest through those who lived it. Human details and the broader political background bring to life one of history's great tragedies.
