Genghis Khan and the Mongol Empire

The legendary Mongol conqueror Genghis Khan consolidated one of the largest and most powerful empires in all history, striking fear and leaving devastation in his wake all over Asia and into Europe.
With extraordinary ruthlessness and organizational genius, he united the Mongol tribes into one nation and led them to victory over almost every opponent. Their military brilliance, extreme discipline and innovative weaponry meant that by 1224 the Mongols had expanded their empire into modern-day Korea, China, Russia, the Middle East, India and Eastern Europe.
This detailed survey, copiously illustrated with maps as well as art and artifacts of the period, gives the reader a vivid vision of this incomparable leader and his mighty empire.
