Two decades after its initial publication, Paul Ratchnevsky's book on Genghis Khan remains the standard biography on the subject. Ratchnevsky draws upon Mongol, Chinese, Persian, and European sources in order to establish a reliable, factual, and highly readable account of the life of one of the greatest conquerors in world history. The author's command of the primary sources, and his critical evaluations of these accounts, is what set this book apart from others in the field. Now updated in a second edition by Morris Rossabi, the biography takes into account the latest work on Genghis Khan and his legacies. In particular, an extensive new foreword examines the archaeological and literary evidence that has come to light since the book was first published. Rossabi demonstrates how the Mongolians, the Russians, the Manchus, the Chinese, and even Westerners have attempted to use the Great Khan for their own political ends; and shows why, almost eight centuries after his death, Genghis retains his hold on the public imagination."
