Genghis Khan - creator of the greatest empire the world has ever
seen - is one of history's immortals. In Central Asia, they still
use his name to frighten children. In China, he is honoured as the
founder of a dynasty. In Mongolia he is the father of the nation.
In the USA, Time magazine, voted Genghis Khan 'the most important
person of the last millennium'. But how much do we really know
about this man? How is it that an unlettered, unsophisticated
warrior-nomad came to have such a profound effect on world politics
that his influence can still be felt some 800 years later? How he
united the deeply divided Mongol peoples and went on to rule an
empire that stretched from China in the east to Poland in the west
(one substantially larger than Rome's at its zenith) is an epic
tale of martial genius and breathtaking cruelty. John Man's
towering achievement in this book, enriched by his experiences in
China and Mongolia today, is to bring this little-known story
vividly and viscerally to life.
