Genghis Khan (Makers of History Series)

Jacob Abbott's classic historical text for younger readers gives a thorough account of the life of Genghis Khan, famed for his military exploits, supreme ferocity and bloodthirstiness, but also his loyalty, generosity and religious tolerance. It is also highly informative about the background of his life, the society and culture he lived in and the historical context of his extraordinary career. This version is hand-edited (not a scan), printed in a large, clear font, and includes all the original black and white illustrations.
