During the thirteenth century, the Mongols created the greatest
empire in human history. Genghis Khan and his successors brought
death and destruction to Eurasia. They obliterated infrastructure,
devastated cities, and exterminated peoples. They also created
courts in China, Persia, and southern Russia, famed throughout the
world as centers of wealth, learning, power, religion, and lavish
spectacle. The great Mongol houses established standards by which
future rulers in Eurasia would measure themselves for centuries. In
this ambitious study, David M. Robinson traces how in the late
fourteenth century the newly established Ming dynasty (1368-1644)
in China crafted a narrative of the fallen Mongol empire. To shape
the perceptions and actions of audiences at home and abroad, the
Ming court tailored its narrative of the Mongols to prove that it
was the rightful successor to the Mongol empire. This is a story of
how politicians exploit historical memory for their own gain.
