Genghis Khan - Life, Death and Resurrection by John Man |
Everyone has heard of Genghis Khan but this new biography, supported by firsthand knowledge of Mongolia, highlights his complicated nature and discusses not only his dream of world domination leading to the largest empire ever known, but how a horrific mass-murderer and cold-blooded conqueror of millions could be revered, in Mongolia, as the father of his country, the founder of a dynasty, a spirit to be worshipped and a positive force for peace and reconciliation.
