Genghis Khan Kindle Edition

Genghis Khan was the founder and Great Khan (emperor) of the Mongol Empire, which became the largest contiguous empire in history after his demise. He came to power by uniting many of the nomadic tribes of northeast Asia. After founding the Mongol Empire and being proclaimed "Genghis Khan," he started the Mongol invasions that resulted in the conquest of most of Eurasia. These included raids or invasions of the Kara-Khitan Khanate, Caucasus, Khwarezmid Empire, Western Xia and Jin dynasties. These campaigns were often accompanied by wholesale massacres of the civilian populations – especially in the Khwarezmian controlled lands. By the end of his life, the Mongol Empire occupied a substantial portion of Central Asia and China.

Beyond his military accomplishments, Genghis Khan also advanced the Mongol Empire in other ways. He decreed the adoption of the Uyghur script as the Mongol Empire's writing system. He also promoted religious tolerance in the Mongol Empire, and created a unified empire from the nomadic tribes of northeast Asia. Present-day Mongolians regard him as the founding father of Mongolia. Genghis Khan is also credited with bringing the Silk Road under one cohesive political environment. This increased communication and trade from Northeast Asia to Muslim Southwest Asia and Christian Europe, thus expanding the horizons of all three cultural areas. Historians have noted that Genghis Khan instituted meritocracy, and encouraged religious tolerance.

Personnaly, I think this book was overall OK. It's packing true and detailed information at the good price of 99 cents. But why isn't it great? Because even though it's good information, it often starts talking about something else for a while making the book long and more time consuming to read. So if I were you I would think about these things and wonder if you'de like the book or not. Happy Reading!

Reviewed in the United States on October 9, 2016
I took the free sample to decide if I wanted the book. Many illustrations but not accurate. It seems the publisher or author trawled the Internet looking for random photos.. The tent style, location, type of dress and people in one illustration are all inaccurate. The person shooting with a gun is not historically accurate, as they did not have guns. Sloppy history. I won't rate the book as a whole as just saw the poor quality sample.
