The Mongol Empire 1: Eagle Soaring Across the Sky

This volume recounts the legendary life of Genghis Khan, founder of the Mongol Empire, tracing his rise on horseback across the grasslands, his campaigns and conquests, and his dominion over the world. Beyond describing his triumphant record of surviving adversity, building his power from an army of 30,000, uniting the Mongolian grasslands within 20 years, sweeping across Eurasia, and conquering as many as 720 tribes, the novel also vividly brings to life a host of grassland heroes centered around Genghis Khan, including renowned generals such as Muqali, Bo'orchu, and Jebe. It also delves into Genghis Khan's little-known loves and hatreds.
