The Turkic world can now count some 140 million people worldwide. Turkic-speaking peoples range from ancient populations in Siberia and China, through six states in an arc through central Eurasia to fast-growing new settler communities in western Europe and America. Yet, despite an extraordinary past and strong signs of hope for the future, they remain some of the least studied peoples in the world. Muslims for the most part, they offer readiness to work with the West, access to the new Caspian Sea oil province, and a secular alternative for an Islamic world caught between pressure for change and the reactionary threat of fundamentalism. The most powerful and best-established Turkic nation, Turkey, long hemmed in by its role as a front-line pillar of NATO, has become the most democratic major Muslim country and is now negotiating for full membership of the European Union. After a shaky start, the five Turkic states of the Caucasus and Central Asia set free by the end of the Cold War-Azerbaijan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, and the Kyrgyz Republic-are making an independent-minded comeback too. In his major new work, Wall Street Journal correspondent Hugh Pope provides a vivid picture of the descendants of the nomad armies who once conquered China and the Byzantine Empire. He shows the myriad connections that live on between Turks in the Xinjiang province of western China (one of that country's few remaining bastions of rebellion), through Central Asia, Iran, Iraq, the Netherlands, Germany (where Turkish can be heard on every other street corner of Berlin), and all the way to the Appalachian Mountains of the United States. Along the way he reassesses a history in which Islamic lands were ruled by Turkic dynasties-before their ascendancy was broken by the rising power of Europe, Russia, and China-among them the Moguls, who conquered India, the Safavids, who laid the foundations of modern Iran, and the Ottomans, whose five-century-long empire encompassed Turkey, the Balkans, and the Middle East. One of the world's foremost experts on Turkey-and coauthor of the acclaimed Turkey Unveiled (a New York Times Notable Book)-Hugh Pope has crisscrossed this wider Turkic world to encounter and assimilate the many facets of this diverse, fascinating, and ambitious ethnic group. He distills their essential genius, shows a new convergence in language and governance, and argues that the basis has been laid for a commercial and cultural solidarity unthinkable before the collapse of the Soviet Union. Rich with stories and legends stretching back centuries-from the military legacy of nomad raiders under Attila the Hun to the era of the Great Game and beyond-Sons of the Conquerors is a compellingly readable account of a long-neglected subject. It brings readers into closer contact with a culture that has shaped history and opens a refreshing new window on the Islamic world. Book jacket.

Leslie G. Pine has made a special study of Norman ancestry and of the history of the Norman period, bringing to his work a fresh critical approach. In this stirring story of the great Conquest, he applies his wide knowledge of genealogy to the existence among citizens of the United States of a large proportion of Norman blood.

The ancient world. It is a time of remarkable advances in thought and invention and a time of absolute law and brutal conquest. As the ancient kings vie for power and scheme to expand their domains, their generals fight to turn those schemes into reality, and the map of the world continues to change. From Cyaxares of Medes to the great Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon, each ruler is fair and ruthless in different measure. Beneath the power and ambition, though, lies the beating hearts of men, with their emotions often uncontrollable and their weaknesses all too apparent. All around them their wives, concubines, children, servants, slaves and soldiers try to live, prosper or simply survive under often tyrannical rule. Wars are planned, battles are fought, treaties are negotiated, marriages arranged and brutal punishment is meted out as empires rise and fall.

From the author of the bestselling The Dangerous Book for Boys BONUS: This edition contains an excerpt from Conn Iggulden's Khan: Empire of Silver. From Conn Iggulden, #1 bestselling author of six historical epics and coauthor of the international sensation The Dangerous Book for Boys, comes a magnificent new work of fiction. Here, the Mongol conqueror Genghis Khan, stalked by enemies seen and unseen and plagued by a divided family, leads a sprawling force of horsemen beyond the realm of their known world. He will bring a storm to Arab lands and face the armies of the shah in all their strength. From the fierce cold plains of Mongolia to the Korean Peninsula, Genghis’s brothers, sons, and commanders have made emperors bow, slaughtering vast armies of fighting men. But as Genghis enters a strange new land of towering mountains and arid desert, he stirs an enemy greater than any he has met before. Under his command, Shah Ala-ud-Din Mohammed has thousands of fierce Arab warriors, teeming cavalry, and terrifying armored elephants. When Genghis strikes, the Arabs prove their mettle. On the verge of defeat, Genghis is forced to leave his own vast encampment, and the women and children in it, in the path of an enraged, savage enemy. While the Mongols—men, women, and children—fight back, as secret assassins are sent into the night, another battle is taking shape. Two of Genghis’s sons, Jochi and Chagatai, are steeped in enmity. Warriors choose between them, and a murderer commits an unspeakable crime. Soon the most powerful man in the world, who has brought devastation to this land, must choose a successor. And when he does, it will touch off the most bitter conflict of all. In a novel that ranges from the fertile lands of the Chin to the dust and rock of Afghanistan, Conn Iggulden weaves the epic story of history’s most enigmatic conqueror —those who feared him, those who defied him, and those whose bones he left behind.

For generation after generation, the descendants of Abraham had waited to receive what Yahweh had promised to their patriarch ages ago. The stories of a great nation, a Promised Land, and being a blessing to all the world had been told over and over again. This new generation had heard these stories often. Now after forty long years wandering in circles in the wilderness, they stood on Canaan's soil. One of the promises made by God and given to Abraham had already been fulfilled. They had become a great nation. The second promise, that of a land they could call their own, lie immediately before them. But the excitement and the expectation before them was mixed with terror. A miracle like none they had yet witnessed had just happened. Like the stories their grandfathers had told them about the crossing of the Red Sea, so too the waters of the raging Jordan River parted as they crossed on dry land onto Canaan soil. They now stood in enemy territory. Giants lived in this land; fearsome men experienced in warfare with the latest of modern weaponry. Pagan, Prostitutes, and Other Problems Part 2: More Than Conquerors (Joshua 6–11) is the account of the conquest of the Promised Land by a nation far inferior to the forces of the indigenous people. Impossible fortresses and unimaginable armies are to be confronted and defeated if they are to claim this land. The difficult lesson of following God fully must be learned. Mistakes will be made and lives lost, but on every page, the hand of God can be seen working through His people. You will see unfold before your eyes the eternal truth of the apostle Paul, "In all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us." Dive in and join the winning team! You will learn not to believe your eyes!
