'Tamerlane: Sword of Islam, Conqueror of the World' by Justin Marozzi.
It's well researched and informative. I'd recommend it...but not to most of you lot.

Did the author spell world correctly?
If so, this is good research

What's it about Monty?

It's about Temur,
who was a military leader and massive conqueror in the late C14th Middle East (well, the 'stans). Kind of like Genghis Khan but in some ways more civilised. He was also indescribably brutal when he met resistance. Entire cities were razed to the ground and every inhabitant killed on dozens of occasions. It's non-fiction and quite heavy going but a sound academic work.
