Tamerlane – Through the Lens of Justin Marozzi
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: In “Tamerlane: Sword of Islam, Conqueror of the World”, Justin Marozzi investigates the extraordinary life of Amir Timur, the Central Asian warlord who forged a vast empire through military brilliance and political cunning. This thesis analyzes how Timur tactically employed Islam as a political instrument, his approach to leadership and conquest, and how Marozzi’s narrative contributes to modern historiography. Drawing upon a combination of historical scholarship and primary sources, this work places Timur within the broader discourse of religion, power, and empire in the Islamic world.
