Not just a history book, first-hand experiences from the author shed new light on this legend.
John Man’s study of Genghis Khan is a thoroughly captivating account of the man himself, his historical impact, and his cultural impact today.

Nowadays, Genghis is by turns scourge, hero and demi-god. To Muslims, Russians and Europeans, he is a mass-murderer. Yet in his homeland, Mongols revere him as the nation’s father; Chinese honour him as dynastic founder; and in both countries, worshippers seek his blessing.

This book is more than just a gripping account of Genghis’ rise and conquests; John Man uses first-hand experiences to reveal Khan’s enduring influence - he is the first writer to explore the hidden valley where Genghis may have died, and one of the few westerners to climb the sacred mountain where Khan was probably buried.
