About the Author
Jahangir Zeynal Bey Oglu Nesibov was born in Shusha, Azerbaijan in 1892. He served as an officer in the National Army of the Azerbaijan Democratic Republic. He emigrated to Turkey after the Soviet forces occupied Azerbaijan in 1920. He published three other books while in Turkey: The Land of the Shirvanshahs, The Khanate Period of Our History and The Azerbaijani Folk Wisdoms (Simple Folks Say It As It Is). In 1931, the author presented the first copy of the Land of the Shirvanshahs to Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, the founder of the modern Turkish Republic, who gratefully accepted it.
