Genghis Khan: In His Own Words
The Inner Mind of history’s Most Feared ConquerorBy Andrew Mouser
Length7h 55m
About this audiobook
History remembers the conqueror. This book remembers the man.
He was not born Genghis Khan.
He was born Temujin — a boy who watched his father die from poisoned mare's milk, who survived abandonment on the frozen Onon River, who wore a wooden cangue in chains and smelled the smoke of his enemies' camps.
In his own words, for the first time.
From a starving child on the steppe to the man who would unite the warring tribes under the nine yak-tail standard. From his love for Borte to the betrayal of his blood brother Jamukha. From the humiliation of the walls of Xi Xia to the fury of a murdered envoy, the dust of Samarkand, and the wisdom he learned from the captives he chose not to kill.
This is not a history of battles. It is a memoir of power.
