Overview

For more than two thousand years, the Eurasian steppes witnessed wave upon wave of fierce, nomadic conquerors. The last and the greatest of these were undoubtedly the Mongols. Feared by their enemies as the 'devil's horse-men', they conquered most of the Asian landmass and plunged on into the Middle East and Europe with unprecedented destruction. These resolute and extraordinary invaders were probably the world's finest horse warriors. Yet their exploits have so often been misrepresented as merely the deeds of bloody and destructive hordes. It was the seeming threat to urban civilization posed by the free-ranging, nomadic Mongols that ensured that many of their real achievements - political, cultural, and military - were so often wrongly recorded. The pages of THE MONGOL WARLORDS will be a revelation to military enthusiast and historian alike. The great Mongol leaders were without equal and their names still sound loudl down the intervening ages.
