Cengiz Han

Back Cover Text (From the Promotional Bulletin)

“Genghis Khan was the last great tribal emperor in world history. He was the heir of the 10,000-year-old war between nomadic tribes and the civilized world, the struggle of hunters and shepherds against farmers. It was a story as old as the story of Cain who killed his brother Abel..."

-Jack Weatherford

Few leaders in world history have had as many different titles as Genghis Khan. Genghis Khan, described as barbaric and cruel by some historians, is described as a brave ruler or a legendary emperor in the pages of other historians. It is a fact that Genghis Khan had a very mysterious character and a huge army that crushed many lands with their horses. This army has often caused changes in maps and population movements, and even irreversible climate and environmental changes, according to recent research.

From his childhood, Genghis Khan learned to fight fearlessly, in every detail the indispensable characteristics of a warrior such as ambition, perseverance and courage in a brutal environment. He grew up with enough scientific and technical curiosity to establish a military organization whose might is still unresolved and an unprecedented postal network. Research on this unforgettable figure of Mongolian history, with its extremely different customs and laws, is becoming more popular day by day. Especially when it comes to the history of war and state administration, it is impossible not to mention Genghis Khan.

Jack Weatherford, a world-famous researcher who received his Doctorate of Humanities from Genghis Khan University in Mongolia, traces the surprising story and conquests of Genghis Khan and his grandchildren in this book.
