Description
Genghis Khan and the Quest for God: How the World's Greatest Conqueror Gave Us Religious Freedom Genghis Khan's legacy extends far beyond the battlefield, where he conquered vast territories through bravery and arms. Instead, he built a vast trading network and established a system of governance that relied on commerce and religion. To create a lasting empire, he needed something stronger than trade alone - and so, he gave his subjects the freedom to practice their own religions. This groundbreaking biography reveals the role of religion in Genghis Khan's rule and its impact on the world. Written by renowned anthropologist Jack Weatherford, the book draws on groundbreaking research and previously unknown evidence to shed new light on the life and legacy of one of history's greatest conquerors. By exploring the complex relationships between politics, religion, and culture, Genghis Khan and the Quest for God offers a fascinating and insightful look at the world's greatest empire.
