The History of Mongolian Conquests. The Great Empire of Nomads from Foundation to Decline

The book is dedicated to the unparalleled scale of Mongolian conquests of the 13th century, when the nomads of Central Asia seized territory that stretched across all of Asia to the borders of Germany and the shores of the Adriatic Sea in a short time. John Saunders presents the documented history of the rise and fall of the great Mongolian empire. He talks about Eurasian nomadism, the Mongol invasion of Europe, and the Christian response to it. He provides details about Mongol rule in China and Persia. He depicts portraits of their rulers: great khans, and above all, the legendary Genghis Khan, Mongolian rulers of China, and the khans of the Golden and White Horde. The narrative concludes with how the Mongols were stopped at the edge of Europe and pushed out of the Middle East.
