This fascinating book by Jack Weatherford, an anthropologist and expert on the culture of tribal peoples who has been studying the history of Mongolia for over 30 years, has become a world bestseller and has endured numerous reprints. Having studied all known sources and independently made an incredible journey on his own in the footsteps of the Great Khan, Weatherford collected unique materials that became the basis of a fascinating narrative about one of the most controversial, but invariably iconic and enigmatic figures who changed the world. "In 1997, I began researching The Hidden Tale of the Mongols, the legends and stories collected by descendants about Genghis Khan. Initially, my task was to study all the episodes devoted to him, and especially those places that mentioned events that took place in Mongolia and throughout China and Central Asia. What I discovered was so interesting that it inspired me to create this book. I think we underestimate the Great Khan's spiritual legacy and unique approach to many of the issues that made his imperial project successful."
