Description: This unique biography of Alimqul Amir-i Lashkar, commander-in-chief of the Kokand army in 1863-1865 is devoted to the history of the Kokand khanate, a state that played a great role in Central Asian history in the 18th and 19th centuries.
Review Quotes:
'The Life of Alimqul is a valuable and intriguing source not least because of the paucity of accounts of the period actually written by Central Asians. Thus, it provides an alternative to the better-known perspectives of contemporary English and Russian authors writing on the region.' - The Royal Society for Asian Affairs
