From the thirteenth century, the Mongol empire has been shrouded, the legends abound--the name Genghis Kahn is, to this day, synonymous with terror: Michael Hoang provides a far more subtle, nuanced picture showing the bloodthirsty barbarian was also a visionary statesman and that behind the Oriental despot lay a strategist of genius. Genghis Kahn also provides a fascinating light into Mongol society and culture.
