One thirteenth-century man founded history's largest connected empire - Mongol leader Genghis Khan. He not only managed to unite many disparate tribes, but his invasions culminated in the conquest of Northern China, leaving him with a kingdom the size of Africa. His ruthless military campaigns certainly earned him the title he gave himself: "barbarian from the North".

While he could be brutal, he also brought about a time of peace and prosperity for the Mongols. This compelling biography reveals how a man with such an unforgiving warrior spirit still managed to inspire the loyalty he needed to build an empire.
