ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

Genghis Khan and the Making of the Modern World by Jack Weatherford explores the extraordinary life of Temujin, who rose from obscurity to unite the Mongol tribes and forge a powerful nation in the harsh landscape of the steppe. The book traces his early struggles, his strategic military campaigns across Asia and into Europe, and the establishment of a vast empire.
