ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

In "Genghis Khan and the Making of the Modern World," Jack Weatherford explores the life and legacy of Genghis Khan, challenging the conventional view of him as a bloodthirsty barbarian. The book traces his rise to power on the steppe, his unification of the Mongol tribes, and the expansion of his empire across Asia and into Europe. Weatherford examines the political, military, and cultural transformations that the Mongol Empire brought, and it re-evaluates Genghis Khan’s role as a leader, a lawgiver, and a global influencer. It delves into the details of the Mongol's use of terror as a weapon, and their efforts to promote literacy and create a unified legal system. The book also analyzes the impact of the empire on global history, its eventual decline, and its lasting influence on trade, technology, and culture.
