From the steppes of Mongolia to the plains of Hungary and the heart of Beijing. The story of a herding boy who became the most feared man in history and the empire he built that briefly ruled most of the known world.
In the year 1206, a tribal leader named Temüjin, a man who had survived captivity, hunger, and the murder of his father, stood before an assembly of chiefs on the Mongolian steppe and was named Genghis Khan, universal ruler. Within twenty-five years, his armies had crushed the empires of Central Asia. Within eighty years, his grandsons ruled from the Pacific to the eastern edge of Europe.
It was the largest contiguous land empire the world had ever seen, and a generation of historians is still arguing about whether its existence was a catastrophe, a renaissance, or both.
This book takes you inside that story. Inside the felt tents of the steppe. Inside the burning libraries of Baghdad. Inside the silk markets of the Yuan. Inside the saddle of a Mongol bowman who could shoot accurately at full gallop from either side of his horse.
Inside, you'll discover:
• The Rise of Genghis Khan: Temüjin's early years of captivity, hunger, and exile, the kidnapping of his wife Borte, the Baljuna Covenant, and the path that ended with a tribal boy becoming universal ruler in 1206
• The Mongol Way of War: Composite bows, decimal army units, feigned retreats, siege engineers absorbed from China, and the terror tactics that brought down walls before the first arrow flew
• The Destruction of Khwarazm and the Conquest of China: How Mongol armies erased empires that had stood for centuries, including Khwarazm, Western Xia, and the Jin dynasty, in a single generation, and the rivers of refugees that fled west ahead of them
• The Invasion of Europe: The campaigns of Batu and Subutai across the Volga, the sack of Kiev, Legnica in Poland, the Battle of Mohi in Hungary, and the death of Ogedei Khan in 1241 that may have saved the rest of Europe
• The Conquest of the Middle East: Hulagu's army of 120,000 men, the fall of the Assassins, and the siege and sack of Baghdad in 1258 that ended five hundred years of the Abbasid Caliphate
• The Pax Mongolica: Why the bloodiest century in medieval history was also the century that made the Silk Road safe, and how plague, paper money, gunpowder, and ideas all rode the same roads east and west
• Kublai Khan and the Yuan Dynasty: How Genghis's grandson conquered Song China, moved the capital to Dadu (modern Beijing), and built a court that drew the Italian traveler Marco Polo and inspired his famous account of the East
• The Decline and Fall: The Golden Horde, the Ilkhanate, the Chagatai Khanate, and the Yuan, four successor states, four religions, four civilizations the Mongols left behind, and the slow unraveling that followed
• And much, much more.
Whether you're drawn to military history, the lives of conquerors, the long arc of Eurasian civilization, or the question of how a single family from the steppe rewrote the map of the medieval world, this book gives you the full story: clear, vivid, and unflinching.

Instructions for revocation
Right of withdrawal for the sale of goods
Revocation right for consumers
(A ‘consumer' is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction which, to an overwhelming extent, cannot be attributed to either his commercial or independent professional activities.)
Instructions for revocation
Revocation right
You have the right to revoke this contract within 14 days without specifying any reasons.
The revocation period is 14 days with effect from the day,
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the products, provided you had ordered one or more products within the scope of a standard order and this/these product/products is/are delivered uniformly;
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last product, provided you had ordered several products within the scope of a standard order and these products are delivered separately;
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last part delivery or the last unit, provided you had ordered a product, which is delivered in several part deliveries or units;
To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us (preigu GmbH & Co. KG, Lengericher Landstr. 19, 49078 Osnabrück, Telephone number: +49 (0) 541 / 580 72 84, E-Mail address: mail@preigu.de) by means of a clear declaration (e.g. a letter sent by post, or an e-mail) of your decision to withdraw from this contract. You can use the attached model withdrawal form for this purpose, which is, however, not mandatory.
You can also exercise your right of withdrawal online by clicking on a button labelled accordingly (such as ‘Withdraw from contract' or similar) on the AbeBooks/ZVAB website. If you use this online function, you will immediately receive a confirmation of receipt on a durable medium (e.g. via email) containing information on the content of the withdrawal notice, as well as the date and time of its receipt.
In order to safeguard the revocation period, it is sufficient that you send the notification about the exercise of the revocation right before the expiry of the revocation period.
Consequences of the revocation
If you revoke this contract, we shall repay all the payments, which we received from you, including the delivery costs (with the exception of additional costs, which arise from that fact that you selected a form of delivery other than the most reasonable standard delivery offered by us), immediately and at the latest within 14 days from the day on which we received the notification about the revocation of this contract from you. We use the same means of payment, which you had originally used during the original transaction, for this repayment unless expressly agreed otherwise with you; you will not be charged any fees owing to this repayment.
We can refuse the repayment until the products are returned to us or until you have furnished evidence that you have sent the products back to us, depending on whichever is earlier.
You must return or transfer the products to us immediately and, in any case, at the latest within 14 days with effect from the day on which you inform us of the revocation of this contract. The deadline is maintained if you send the products before the expiry of the 14 day deadline.
You bear the direct costs for returning the products.
You must pay for any depreciation of the products only if this depreciation can be attributed to any handling with you that was not necessary for checking the condition, features and functionality of the products.
