The career and achievements of Chingiz Khan have been of singular interest to both the East and the West. Considered a wonder-worker, his conquests were, as Rome Grouset observed, ‘as important a fact for the commerce of the Middle Ages as the discovery of America for the men of the Renaissance’.
Gifted with a magnetic personality, penetrating insight, unerring judgement and disarming candour, Chingiz Khan was a strict disciplinarian, a master strategist and a great commander, who marched far ahead of some of the greatest figures of history and out-rivalled the achievements of the all-time great captains of war, Hannibal and Caesar, Alexander and Napoleon.
The Great Khan’s laurels do not rest on his conquests alone, as he was an equally adept administrative genius. He founded an empire not merely on his name, fame and might but on law and political organization, justice and uninhibited tolerance, far ahead of his times.

‘The book contains an elaborate and well classified bibliography and index and the appendix includes a useful collection of the most important sources of the Mongol period.’— TABIR KALAM, The Book Review
‘The book… is quite relevant to the students of medieval Indian history because the emergence of the Delhi Sultanate cannot be understood without taking into account the Mongol presence in northwestern India… The book contains seven historical maps, which complement the text in several meaningful ways… the publisher has done a tremendous job in producing a beautiful volume…’— SURINDER SINGH, Summerhill
