Description
The Horde: How the Mongols Changed the World A comprehensive history of the western portion of the Mongol empire, this book challenges our assumptions about nomads and their place in history. Marie Favereau reveals the complex power-sharing arrangement between the khan and nobility, which rewarded skillful administrators and fostered a mobile, innovative economic order. The Mongols' influence extended far beyond the battlefield, shaping state structures in Russia and across the Islamic world, and disseminating sophisticated theories about the natural world. This book offers a fresh and persuasive portrait of an empire that has long been misunderstood, making it clear that we live in a world shaped by Mongols.
