This book chronicles the extraordinary rise of Genghis Khan and his successors, who forged an empire vastly larger than Alexander's, stretching from Korea to the Danube River. It examines how a nomadic people achieved such rapid and extensive conquests, challenging the common perception of the Mongols as mere barbarians. The narrative spans from Genghis Khan's consolidation of power in 1206 to the empire's eventual decline after Khubilai Khan's unification with China. It details their invasions, including those into feudal Europe, and the era's encounters between East and West that shaped modern Asia.
