Omschrijving

In the 12th century, there arose a man north of China who was ruthless and had absolute lust for power. At the age of 13, while fishing, one of his brothers snatched from his hand the fish he had caught. He killed his brother on the spot. He grew up to decimate every clan in Mongolia to take power. In the early 13th century, this man led an army and crushed China, an empire much larger than his own. This is the story of Genghis Khan.

 

Khan had an uncanny ability to lead. His followers were loyal to him and would do anything he commanded without question or hesitation. His enemies both feared and loathed him. He lived primitively as a barbarian and deemed civilized communities as cowards. Wherever his army went for their next conquest, there would flow streams of blood on the streets for days.

 

His reputation preceded him, and the opposing forces knew that death was looking for them. He destroyed homes, burned books, killed the men, captured women as trophies, and used children as human shields in battle. Get unprecedented access to the mind of this ruler and military commander.

 

Here's a preview of what you'll discover in this book:

Genghis Khan's early childhood and upbringing An early indication of him emerging as a leader His rise to power after the death of his father Forging alliances and rising above the other clans Going international with the invasion of China Invasions of Europe and the Islamic world Capturing most of the known world The legacy that he left behind ….. And much more!

Genghis Khan had only one objective which was to expand his territory at any cost. He was brilliant at psychological warfare and had the instinctual ability to correctly predict the next move of his enemies. After his invasion of Europe, he arbitrarily implemented a set of laws to control the citizenry that he ruled over. This book will deliver you insights from his life on how he led his army, how he learned about his enemies, what was his strategy to overpower his rivals, and what made him tick.
