About this audiobook
This is a compilation of 3 different titles, which are about the following topics:
1: 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.
2: You may have heard about him: Attila the Hun. Let's discover who this individual actually was and why he has such a bad track record of being a callous, aggressive conqueror in the first millennium after Christ. Attila the Hun was the ruler of the Huns from the year 434 till his death in the month of March in the year 453. Also, he was the leader of a tribal realm which consisted mainly of Huns, Ostrogoths, Alans and Bulgars, to name a few, in Central Europe and in Eastern Europe.
3: Not too many people realize that the story of Dracula was based on a really sadistic ruler in Romania. Vlad the Impaler, or Vlad the Third, was a merciless despot who tried to make an example out of his opponents by impaling them and displaying them in public. He also enjoyed bathing in dead people’s blood and did some other gross, inhumane things. He was the terror of Eastern Europe for many years.
What made this tyrant so effective at warfare, so vicious in his raids, and so brutal when he captured enemies?
Which other conquerors were fighting him at the time?
Learn about this, as well as his background, his marriage, his death, and his legacy.
