First in a four-part series that tells the story of the Mongol hordes and explains why Genghis Khan, to the west an arch-barbarian, is revered as a god in Mongolia.
In the middle of the 13th century an army emerged from the eastern steppes of Asia. It was the most terrifying fighting machine ever known in history and its leader was Genghis Khan. Now, after 70 years of communism, the Mongol nation is beginning to rediscover the history of its greatest hero.
