Description: From the windswept grasslands of thirteenth-century Mongolia rose an empire that would reshape the known world. This sweeping history traces the astonishing arc of the Mongol ascendancy—from the fractured tribal politics that forged Temujin into Genghis Khan, to the innovations in warfare, law, and governance that bound together the largest contiguous empire in human history. Along the way, readers journey through the silk-laden trade routes of the Pax Mongolica, the intrigues of succession among the four khanates, and the long shadow the Mongols cast across Asia, Europe, and the Middle East. A vivid, meticulously drawn portrait of conquest, culture, and enduring legacy.
