Genghis Khan and the Making of the Modern World

The Mongol army led by Genghis Khan subjugated more lands and people in 25 years than the Romans did in 400. 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.PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.
