A proposito di questo titolo

The Safavid Empire, which Shah Abbas the Great had raised to a dazzling peak, collapsed with shocking speed. By the early eighteenth century, the dynasty was hollowed out by weak shahs, court intrigue, and religious repression. The Ghilzai Afghans, led by Mahmud Hotak, exploited the chaos. In 1722, after a brutal six-month siege, they took Isfahan — the jewel of Persia. Lucas and Luna walk through the final act: the decline under Shah Sultan Husayn, the rise of the Ghilzai rebellion in Kandahar, the catastrophic battle of Golnabad where a Persian army tens of thousands strong routed by a smaller, more determined Afghan force, and the siege itself. They discuss how the Safavid army had decayed, how the empire's religious intolerance had alienated Sunni subjects, and how the fall of Isfahan paved the way for Nader Shah's rise. This is a story of hubris, complacency, and sudden ruin — a warning about what happens when a great power loses its edge.
