Synopsis
A specialist in conflicts, strategic problems, guerrillas, and terrorism, Chaliand (Ecole Nationale d'Administration and Collège Inter-armée de Défense, Paris) introduces the military history of the nomadic Altaic peoples of central Asia, and above all the impact they had on world history over the span of two millennia, from the fourth century BC to the 15th century AD. The Mongols and the Turks are the best known of them. He uses a geopolitical and strategic approach. No date or publisher is cited for the original Empires nomades de la Mongolie au Danube.
