“Distinguished historian Peter Jackson offers a fresh and
fascinating consideration of the years of infidel Mongol rule in
Western Asia, drawing from an impressive array of primary sources
as well as modern studies to demonstrate how Islam not only
survived the savagery of the conquest, but spread throughout the
empire.”—Asian Art Newspaper
“Peter Jackson’s superb and monumental study of the impacts of the
Mongol conquests on the Islamic world is an impressive achievement,
and one for which students of Mongol and Islamic history will be
grateful for years to come.”—Devin DeWeese, Journal of Islamic
Studies
“Jackson’s survey is a comprehensive and deeply erudite study of
how the Mongol empire shaped and was shaped by Muslims and Islamic
culture.” —Christopher P. Atwood, American Historical Review
“At last, we now have a thorough scholarly analysis examining the
initial Mongolian conquest and final collapse of their alien
regime. Peter Jackson’s The Mongols and the Islamic World is the
definitive resource text on the Mongol presence and influence in
Central Asia and the Muslim world. It is essential reading for
anyone who wants to understand the history of the Muslims or the
Mongols.”—Jack Weatherford, author of Genghis Khan and the Making
of the Modern World
“This is a work of great erudition which benefits from Peter
Jackson’s life-long mastery of both the Muslim and the European
sources for the history of the Mongols. The book is a must for any
scholar or student interested in the Mongol Empire.”—Michal Biran,
The Hebrew University of Jerusalem
“Written with a depth and a degree of insight never previously
achieved, this accessible study is the most important book on the
history of the Mongol Empire to have been published in
years.”—David Morgan, author of The Mongols
