Description
Genghis Khan has united the warring tribes and taken his armies against the great cities of their oldest enemies. Now, he faces trouble rising west of the Mongolian plains. His emissaries are mutilated or killed; his trading gestures rebuffed. To address this threat, Genghis divides his armies, using his sons as generals of the various divisions. He sends them out simultaneously in many directions, ranging from modern Iran to Iraq. This policy is a way of diffusing rivalries between his sons and heirs, while also discovering new territories, exacting tribute from conquered peoples, and laying waste to cities that resist. This third book in the Conqueror series brings together the sense of Genghis Khan's ambition and power, as well as the relationships with his wives, sons, and trusted aides. The sweep of his conquests is masterfully told, making for a compelling read.
