The Sword of Persia: Nader Shah, from Tribal Warrior to Conquering Tyrant

Nader Shah, ruler of Persia from 1736 to 1747, embodied ruthless ambition, energy, military brilliance, cynicism and cruelty. His reign was filled with bloodshed, betrayal and horror. Yet Nader Shah is central to Iran's early modern history. This book features the story of this remarkable, ruthless man, capable of both charm and brutality.
