In the Shadow of the Gods (Paperback) By Dominic Lieven

In In the Shadow of the Gods, esteemed historian Dominic Lieven provides a sweeping global exploration of emperors—from Sargon of Akkad to Peter the Great, Suleiman, Trajan, Louis XIV, Mughal shahs, Chinese emperors, and more. Rather than simply cataloguing events, Lieven delves into the human dimension of empire: the personalities, ambitions, weaknesses, and ideologies that shaped political destinies across continents. He shows how emperors could act as sacred symbols, warrior-kings, or architects of power, and how their legacies continue to influence the modern world.
