Title: Genghis Khan and the Making of the Modern World Pdf

The Mongol army led by Genghis Khan subjugated more lands and people in 25 years than the Romans did in 400. In nearly every country the Mongols conquered, they brought an unprecedented rise in cultural communication, expanded trade, and a blossoming of civilization.

Vastly more progressive than his European or Asian counterparts, Genghis Khan abolished torture, granted universal religious freedom, and smashed feudal systems of aristocratic privilege. From the story of his rise through the tribal culture to the explosion of civilization that the Mongol Empire unleashed, this brilliant work of revisionist history is nothing less than the epic story of how the modern world was made.

Comprehensive Level of detail revealed by the author is amazing. It's almost too much in the sense that his insights are so wrapped in minute details that it easily loses the reader. He also repeatedly provided too much descriptive episodes of torture that it was upsetting and repugnant. Was it necessary to describe what happened to Fatima or how the clerics of Europe wrote about the torture of Christian virgins post 1241? It seemed unnecessary though I suppose scholarly at some level appealing at the same time to The purient interests of the reader. For the same reason I won't watch beheadings of ISIS victims i felt compelled to skim over some of the gory details of torture.I also was lost in the complex genealogy of Genghis Kahns complex lineages. It's hard to track and some charts would have been helpful.cFinally , I think the book would have been greatly improved with pictures of the Mongolia Weatherford wrote. It would have given me a,sense of the land that the Kahn grew up in and conquered.Ghengis Khan; More Important than you probably thought Totally changed my perception of geopolitics-really! This book, thoroughly researched, blasts the myths surrounding Ghenghis Khan and demonstrates his wisdom and courage as a leader. Perhaps more importantly, it contributes invaluable knowledge about the role of the Mongols in reshaping the world to forge trade routes, developing societies where many religions coexisted peacefully and exploding many of our prior myths about the savagery of the Mongol Horde. One of the most fascinating books on history I have read.A Revolutionary View of Genghis Khan's gifts to humanity. Weatherford exploded common beliefs of evil instilled in my education (two degrees) about Khan. Obviously researched beyond all other efforts by multiple historians, Weatherford's masterful writings about positive impact that Khan delivered to civilization fully deserves top prizes in both literature and interpretation of history. I was so impressed with the writing and findings that I then bought his book about the positive impact the natives of the Americas had on the world--also explosive. Where is the Nobel Committee? Pulitzer judges? Understanding readers?
