About this audiobook
Genghis Khan was the Mongol emperor who has expanded his region to the biggest empire on the face of the earth ever. His empire stretched from East Asia all the way to various European countries, the Middle East, and beyond.
What made Genghis Khan so successful?
Was he a brute, rapist, and pillaging dictator, or did he have a tolerant side as well?
How do the people in Mongolia see him, or the people in China?
All o these questions and more will be answered in this comprehensive overview of the history of Genghis Khan. You will learn more about his early life, his relationships, marriage, families and children, his attacks, his unification of the Mongolian Federations, his death, succession, and the continuing of the Mongolian Empire after his death.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Anytime you're motivated about anything, you normally tell other people about it. So, that's what I'm doing too. I am trying to mention one thing negative about this audiobook, but I can't. It's just way too great. So without any more exaggeration, I simply believe everybody must think of listening to it. I carefully appreciated listening to this particular book. It contains all of the components of a publication regarding this subject that it ought to contain. Having said this, I am often happy about things anyway, but This is a secret treasure. This particular audiobook incorporates important truths. The narrator's voice was just relaxing. Did I already specify that it appeared to be really professional? Well, it did. Definitely, and that's the main reason that I simply loved paying attention to it a lot.
