Genghis Khan: An Enthralling Guide to the Conquests, Empire, and Enduring Legacy of the Mongol Horde (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9798887656625)

The Life and Legacy of a Universal Ruler

What if everything you thought you knew about Genghis Khan was wrong?

He was feared and admired in equal measure. To his enemies, he was a storm of destruction. To his people, he was a unifier and a lawgiver. But before he became the "universal ruler," he was a boy defined by betrayal, exile, and a relentless will to survive.

This book is the definitive story of a man who rose from the windswept steppes of Mongolia to command the largest contiguous empire in history. It tells you about the battles and immerses you in the personal struggles that forged a legend.

Inside, you will explore:

• The betrayals and near-death experiences that could have ended his life before it began.
• The dramatic abduction of his wife and the rescue that hardened his resolve.
• The surprising friendships that built an unstoppable army.
• The fate of his successors who tried to hold his vast empire together.
• And much, much more!
