Produktinformationen zu „Genghis Khan and the Mongol War Machine (ePub)“
The military might, tactics, and philosophy of Khan is explored in this "fine read" and "useful source for Mongolian . . . and medieval studies in general" (De Re Militari).
As a soldier, general, statesman, and empire-builder, Genghis Khan is a near-mythical figure. His remarkable achievements and his ruthless methods have given rise to a monstrous reputation. But who was the man behind the legend?
As historian Chris Peers shows in this concise and authoritative study, Genghis Khan possessed exceptional gifts as a leader and manager of men-ranking among the greatest military commanders in history. But he can only be properly understood in terms of the Mongol society and traditions he was born into.
Here, the leader's world is explored-from the military and cultural background of the Mongols, to the nature of steppe societies and their armies, and their relation to other peoples and cultures. The book also looks in detail at the military skills, tactics, and ethos of the Mongol soldiers, and at the advantages and disadvantages they had in combat with the soldiers of other civilizations.
For anyone who wants to go beyond the myth of the man who almost conquered the world and learn the real life story behind it, this comprehensive study offers a fascinating perspective on Genghis Khan as a man and a general, and on the armies he led.
