Reviews
"Reads like theIliad. . . Part travelogue, part epic narrative." -Washington Post "It's hard to think of anyone else who rose from such inauspicious beginnings to something so awesome, except maybe Jesus." -Harper's "Weatherford's lively analysis restores the Mongol's reputation, and it takes wonderful learned detours. . . . Well written and full of suprises." -Kirkus Reviews "Weatherford is a fantastic storyteller. . . . [His] portrait of Khan is drawn with sufficiently self-complicating depth. . . . Weatherford's account gives a generous view of the Mongol conqueror at his best and worst." -Minneapolis Star Tribune From the Trade Paperback edition., "There is very little time for reading in my new job. But of the few books I've read, my favourite is  Genghis Khan and the Making of the Modern World  by Jack Weatherford (Crown Publishers, New York). It's a fascinating book portraying Genghis Khan in a totally new light. It shows that he was a great secular leader, among other things." -Manmohan Singh, Prime Minister of India "Reads like the Iliad . . .

Synopsis
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER . The startling true history of how one extraordinary man from a remote corner of the world created an empire that led the world into the modern age-by the author featured in Echoes of the Empire- Beyond Genghis Khan . The Mongol army led by Genghis Khan subjugated more lands and people in twenty-five years than the Romans did in four hundred. In nearly every country the Mongols conquered, they brought an unprecedented rise in cultural communication, expanded trade, and a blossoming of civilization. Vastly more progressive than his European or Asian counterparts, Genghis Khan abolished torture, granted universal religious freedom, and smashed feudal systems of aristocratic privilege. From the story of his rise through the tribal culture to the explosion of civilization that the Mongol Empire unleashed, this brilliant work of revisionist history is nothing less than the epic story of how the modern world was made., The name Genghis Khan often conjures the image of a relentless, bloodthirsty barbarian on horseback leading a ruthless band of nomadic warriors in the looting of the civilized world., New York Times Bestseller - The startling true history of how one extraordinary man from a remote cornerof the world created an empire that led the world into the modern age.

    I’d been looking for this book for more than five years. It arrived promptly and was well packed to protect it during shipping, and it arrived in excellent condition. The book is an important addition to our research library, so we are delighted to have found it, especially in such good shape. We would definitely do business with this seller again.
