About this listen

This book traces the life and legacy of Genghis Khan from his childhood on the steppe to the consolidation of an empire that transformed Eurasia. It combines rigorous historical narration with a humanized approach to explain how a leader forged unity from chaos, imposed the Yassa as a norm of proportionality, turned the Silk Road into a secure trade system, and created a mobile bureaucracy that made the 'Pax Mongolica' possible. Through campaigns, reforms, and pacts, it reveals both the devastations of conquest and the administrative innovations, religious tolerance, and social mobility that marked the 13th century. From the rise of Temüjin to the succession and the role of Kublai Khan, the book presents a lucid balance of lights and shadows, and traces the thread connecting that steppe order with the identity of modern Mongolia.
