The Mongols (The Peoples of Europe) by David Morgan Format: Hardcover with Dust JacketPublished by Blackwell Publishers, 1986 The Mongol Empire was the largest continuous land empi re known to history, its violent creation the major political event of the 13th century world. Yet little is known of the history of Christendom's most formidable and dangerous eastern neighbour. This chronicle benefits from new discoveries and a broad range of source material. David Morgan explains how the vast Mongolian Empire was organized and governed, examining the religious and political character of the steppe nomadic society. He assesses the astonishing military career of Chingiz (Genghis) Khan, considers the nature of Mongol imperial government, and the effects of Mongol campaigns on the countries and peoples they conquered in China, Russia, Persia and Europe. Dr Morgan extends his narrative through the collapse of the empire and the formation of a People's Republic as a Russian satellite.Product image is for illustration purposes only and may not be an exact representation of the product offered for sale.
