Genghis Khan And The Making Of The New World Book Report

Genghis Khan and the Making of the New World is a narrative of the growth and power of Genghis Khan and his successors, including their influence on Europe’s civilization. The book is divided into three sections, the beginning of the Mongol Empire and Genghis Khan’s rule, Genghis Khan’s death and his successors. The author, Weatherford, delivers a different viewpoint on Genghis Khan than what was very typical in most books. He talked about the positive cultural effects to Genghis Khan’s rule. At the end of the book, he analyses the historiography of Genghis Khan in the West and claims that the Genghis Khan’s earlier portrayal was an "excellent, noble king" transformed to that of a ruthless pagan during the Age of the Enlightenment.
