About the Book: The Horde : How the Mongols Changed the World
The Mongols are widely known for one thing: conquest. In the first
comprehensive history of the Horde, the western portion of the Mongol empire
that arose after the death of Chinggis Khan, Marie Favereau shows that the
accomplishments of the Mongols extended far beyond war. For three hundred years,
the Horde was no less a force in global development than Rome had been. It left
behind a profound legacy in Europe, Russia, Central Asia, and the Middle East,
palpable to this day.
