The man who emerged was a ruthless, brilliant tactician with a profound grasp of realpolitik, but one eye fixed firmly on his destiny...How Genghis united the deeply divided Mongol peoples and went on to rule a tract of land which stretched from China in the east to Poland in the west (a substantially larger area than was encompassed by the Roman empire at its zenith) is an epic tale of martial genius and breathtaking cruelty. John Man's towering achievement in this book, enriched by his experiences in China and Mongolia today, is to bring this little-known story vividly and viscerally to life.
