Description

Chinggis Khan was perhaps the most influential man of the last millennium, and yet he was not a Muslim. So, why is he included in a series profiling Makers of the Muslim World? In this novel perspective on a much-maligned figure, Michal Biran explains the monumental impact Chinggis Khan had upon the Islamic World, both positive and negative. Often criticized as a mass-slaughterer, pillager, and arch-enemy of the faith, Biran shows that his constructive influence upon Islam was also considerable - his legacy apparent in Central Asia even today.
