Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The History of the Seljuq Turks: The Saljuq-nama of Zahir al-Din Nishpuri (Routledge Studies in the History of Iran and Turkey) (Hardcover)
A penetrating and detailed analysis of the chronology of one of the world's least known cultures. The story of the Seljuk Turks offers an insight into the Turkic migrations from Central Asia, their strengths and beliefs, and their lasting impact on the people, like the Persians, Arabs and Ottomans, who were their contemporaries. This book is a monument to minutiae and is recommended only for people with a specific interest in this subject.
