This book provides an evocative account of Temuchin Chingiz Khan, who knitted the warring Mongol tribes into well-trained warriors, and who went on to establish an empire from the Great Wall of China to the Caspian Sea and the Indus River. The career and achievements of Chingiz Khan have been of singular interest to both the East and the West. Gifted with a magnetic personality, penetrating insight, unerring judgement and disarming candour, Chingiz Khan was a strict disciplinarian, a master strategist and a great commander, who marched far ahead of some of the greatest figures of history and out-rivalled the achievements of the all-time great captains of war. He founded an empire far ahead of his times not merely on his name, fame and might but on law, political organization, and justice and uninhibited tolerance.
