Anotace:	Paul Ratchnevsky, one of the foremost historians of the Mongol period, draws upon Mongol, Chinese, Persian and European sources to provide a penetrating, balanced and highly readable account of the life of one of the greatest conquerors in world history. He begins with Genghis Khan's youth in the harsh environment of the twelfth-century steppe, and describes his rise to power as a young nomad warrior. The author shows how, although Genghis was at times as merciless as his reputation suggests, he could also be magnanimous and just. He promoted his followers on merit alone and was even-handed in his distribution of favors. The author considers Mongol administration, military organization, legislation and religious policy. The book ends with an assessment of the legacy and achievements of this extraordinary historical figure, who turned a small, poor and backward nation into the conqueror of the most powerful and civilized states in Asia.
