About the Book
About 800 years ago the Mongol ruler, Genghis Khan, leading his savage Mongol horse-warriors, burst upon the world with a ferocity that stunned the civilized world. It ended about 300 years later with over 50 nations, about half the known world, virtually destroyed and under the brutal heels of the conquering Mongol Hordes.
Genghis Khan and his conquering hordes destroyed the nations of the Middle East and Asia Minor, conquered China, subjected Russia, and left Eastern Europe in ruins.
Genghis Khan, the world's greatest terrorist, said: "The greatest pleasure of a man is to inflict humiliating defeat on his enemies, to drive them before him, to see those dear to them with their faces bathed in tears, to bestride their prize horses, and to crush in his arms the soft bodies of their wives and daughters." All of those "plea-sures" were executed by the Mongol hordes with a patho-logical savagery that stunned the civilized world.
Genghis Khan and his people firmly believed that they had been selected by their God, Koko Mongri Tengri, to conquer or destroy the entire world.
This novel begins in the year 1176 A.D., when Temujin later to become the infamous Genghis Khan, was a nine-year-old boy. The book then follows the bloody history of the barbarian conquerors through Genghis Khan's life, ending with his death.
