It discusses the disintegration and decline of the two greatest empires in Asia – Safavids and Mughals – and the emergence of the Afghani monarchy under Ghilzai Pashtuns. This period was also marked by anarchy, chaos and weak leadership under Mughal rulers. However, the most important part of this work is the emergence of Nadir Shah as the king of Persia. The significant parts deal with Nadir Shah's conquest of Afghanistan and his march towards Punjab; subsequently, the Battle of Karnal followed by the Mughal army's defeat; his pillage at Delhi in March 1739; and the genocide committed against the residents of Shahjahanabad. The book ends with the departure of Nadir Shah and the impact left by him.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1.
