I love military history, and this book is a great introduction to Genghis Khan. It starts with the history of his clan before delving into the different struggles that he encountered in life which lead to his rise as the military genius that he became. It doesn't have much to say about his tactics, mostly overview of military objectives and conquests. ( ) geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

Genghis Khan, the thirteenth century emperor, was infamous for his bloodthirsty, ruthless campaigns, but he was also one of the great commanders of history. Though a master of terror - his campaigns in northern China and Iran were accompanied by a level of slaughter that was not seen again until the twentieth century - he was just and generous to his subjects and often magnanimous in victory. His broad, ambitious strategies and elusive tactics were so far ahead of their time that they were acknowledged models for some of the most successful tank commanders of the Second World War. At the beginning of the thirteenth century Genghis Khan united the nomad tribes of Mongolia, turned them into a formidable army and led them to rule over the largest empire ever conquered by a single commander. By the time he died, in 1227, his dominions stretched eastward from the Caspian Sea to the shores of the Pacific Ocean. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
