Genghis Khan's Mongol Empire

At the start of the 13th century, the Mongols were a poor, scattered, and politically weak people of the eastern Asian steppes. Under Genghis Khan, their "Universal Ruler," they were soon transformed into the world's most fearsome army. In just a few years, Genghis Khan and his followers conquered the largest empire in history, covering a vast territory in China, central Asia, the Middle East, and eastern Europe.Streissguth, Thomas is the author of 'Genghis Khan's Mongol Empire ', published 2005 under ISBN 9781590184363 and ISBN 159018436X.
