About this episode
For the first time on this podcast, we really leave Europe and the Near East. Genghis Khan has had a greater impact on the world than perhaps any other person in world history. His impact and the impact of the Mongol conquests are undeniable. So, in this episode we begin to look at the man who would become Genghis Khan and his rise to power. Multiple people had emailed about resources that I use for the podcast. So I am going to start listing the major sources here for those who want more information. I highly recommend them all. Genghis Khan and the Making of the Modern World. Jack Weatherford. The Secret History of the Mongols. Translation. Multiple Versions Available. The Mongol Empire. Michael Prawdin. The History of the Mongol Conquests. John Joseph Saunders.
