Book Description
In 20 years Genghis Khan rallied all the tribes of Mongolia and put Mongol society under a codified set of laws. At the head of his disciplined army, he then embarked on the conquest of China. Hardly had Beijing fallen to him than he was off again, this time to lay waste to the Middle East. From the 13th century, the Mongol empire has been shrouded in mystery, and legends abound--the name of Genghis Khan is, to this day, synonymous with terror. Michel Hoang shows that Khan was also a visionary statesman and that behind the Oriental despot lay a strategist of genius. This book also provides a fascinating insight into Mongol society and culture.
