This new biography on Chinggis Khan examines the life of this perennially fascinating and controversial man within the dynamic social and cultural contexts of the thirteenth-century.
Drawing upon the latest scholarship, Ruth W. Dunnell presents as clear an account as possible of who Chinggis Khan was, where he came from, why and how he pursued his career as a world conqueror, and what it meant to the world then and later. In these pages readers should gain insight into how the Mongols saw and experienced the world, and the logic of their actions in it.
Concise and incisive, each interpretive biography in the Library of World Biography Series focuses on a person whose actions and ideas either significantly influenced world events or whose life reflects important themes and developments in global history.
