Genghis Khan and the Genghisids. Fate and Power

The Genghisids — direct descendants of Genghis Khan — by 1260, as a result of wars and victories, formed the largest and most powerful empire that stretched from the Yellow Sea in the east to the Danube and Euphrates in the west. Renowned Turkologist Professor Tursun Sultanov thoroughly investigates the political history of the Genghisid dynasty, from the founder of the Mongolian Empire Genghis Khan to his descendants who sat on the thrones of the Golden Horde, the Chagatai Ulus, and Moghulistan. The book covers events from the 13th to the 17th centuries, tracing the practice of succession in the empire of Genghis Khan and in the states that arose as a result of its fragmentation.
