Book details
Overview
"Genghis goes to China" is a pretty straight forward Mongolian version of 'I came, I saw, I conquered" except that Genghis had a much more colorful life than Mr. Caesar. The little guy was sent away at age 9, left homeless shortly after, learned to hunt and hide by 10, kidnapped & enslaved by 12, escaped & married by 16, had his wife kidnapped by a bully-king, borrowed 20,000 cavalry from a buddy and got her back all before reaching the legal voting age of most democracies. No wonder the lad had time to become one of the world's greatest conquerors.
