Manposits that this engrossing book is the result of his ambition totravel to somewhere remote, and that Mongolia, China, and the GobiDesert are such places. He maintains that secrecy is an importanttheme of the book: how and where Genghis Khan died, and how andwhere he was buried. Man chronicles the early history of Mongolia,the coming of the Mongols' conquests of China and other Asiankingdoms, and what he calls the Muslim holocaust. He cites that"there were 100,000 to 150,000 soldiers, each with two or threehorses . . . they could cover 100 kilometers a day, cross deserts,swim rivers, and materialize and vanish as if by magic." He saysthat prisoners had a triple use: as a slave labor force of spe*tartisans, as soldiers in the army's nonnomadic contingents, and as"cannon fodder." Genghis Khan fell seriously ill, perhaps withtyphus, and died in 1227, and not much is certain about his burialsite; the record is, according to the author, "infuriatinglyvague." George Cohen

"Chaucer laudedGenghis Khan in his Canterbury Tales, while others have comparedhim to Satan (sometimes to Satan's advantage). In this livelyvolume, historian and travel writer Man presents parallel yetconflicting views of the imperialist and Mongolian national hero.The Great Khan unified the nomadic Mongols, destroyed obstructiveempires, built the largest land empire in history, opened tradefrom Japan to Europe, and in general made way for the modern world.His tactics included murderous but focused terror, multiculturalstatesmanship, and sheer energy (DNA studies estimate that hisgenes are in eight percent of the men of Eurasia)."—LibraryJournal
