This book vividly describes the life and conquests of Genghis Khan, the founder of the Mongol Empire. Drawing on instincts honed by life on the harsh plains of Mongolia, Khan established the world's largest empire by combining farsighted political and military strategies with brutal intimidation. Although he employed violence to win and maintain power, he also brought a measure of civilization to his subjects, establishing trade routes and laws that shaped his empire long after his death.
