Genghis Khan: Emperor of All Men

The story of Genghis Khan. What is the mystery that surrounds Genghis Khan? More gigantic in historical literature than Alexander the Great, the Caesars, Napoleon, or Hitler... 750 years ago, Genghis Khan, the great Mongolian warlord conquered half the world. A nomad, a hunter and herder of beasts, he out-generaled the powers of three empires. He was a barbarian who had never seen a city and did not know the use of writing, yet drew up a code of laws for fifty nations which survived for centuries.
He molded his armies into the finest, most disciplined force of mobile fighting ever assembled. The lightning quick movements and encircling tactics of Mongol horsemen baffled opponents - from the Persian Shah to the Muslim Caliphat - time and again. He moved an army of a quarter of a million men two thousand miles over country a modern army could not possibly negotiate. Genghis Khan was the greatest conqueror the world has ever known.
