A landmark biography by the New York Times bestselling author of Genghis Khan and the Making of the Modern World that reveals how Genghis harnessed the power of religion to rule the largest empire the world has ever known.
Throughout history the world’s greatest conquerors have made their mark not just on the battlefield, but in the societies they have transformed. Genghis Khan conquered by arms and bravery, but he ruled by commerce and religion. He created the world’s greatest trading network and drastically lowered taxes for merchants, but he knew that if his empire was going to last, he would need something stronger and more binding than trade. He needed religion. And so, unlike the Christian, Taoist and Muslim conquerors who came before him, he gave his subjects freedom of religion. Genghis lived in the 13th century, but he struggled with many of the same problems we face today: How should one balance religious freedom with the need to reign in fanatics? Can one compel rival religions – driven by deep seated hatred–to live together in peace?
A celebrated anthropologist whose bestselling Genghis Khan and the Making of the Modern World radically transformed our understanding of the Mongols and their legacy, Jack Weatherford has spent eighteen years exploring areas of Mongolia closed until the fall of the Soviet Union and researching The Secret History of the Mongols, an astonishing document written in code that was only recently discovered. He pored through archives and found groundbreaking evidence of Genghis’s influence on the founding fathers and his essential impact on Thomas Jefferson. Genghis Khan and the Quest for God is a masterpiece of erudition and insight, his most personal and resonant work.

nugaseya, read/listened to it & Jack Weatherford’s other Genghis Khan/Mongols work? I doubt it. I can smell your cognitive dissonance through cyber space. Not what your government school & Hollywood & your unlearned peers/culture told you about Genghis & the Mongols eh? Wouldn’t a person with an open mind check first instead of knee jerking? I’m pretty confident all they gave you was the body count & blood. The cartoon simple Manachian version.
In addition to beating the Americans to freedom of religion by over 500 years, Genghis Khan is the most successful environmentalist in history.

Whatever nugaseya’s intent it’s a pretty good line :)

thanks for the upload but can someone say whether an audiobook player is going to sort out those chapters. I don’t see a chapter 1 either.

@orpilot Chapter one is here ‘Part One Becoming Temujin - 1. The Teeth That Eat Men.mp3 20.52 MBs’. You can sort them by their track number.

nugaseya Adolf Hitler as the world’s greatest Dictator? Really? Ever hear of Stalin? Adolf Hitler was a wet fart in comparison.
Great book, though.
