Some of the greatest empires in history - those of Genghis Khan, Saladin, Shaka Zulu and Attila the Hun - were based on nomadic conquest. Even today the lives of nomads continue to exert fascination and this book, published to accompany a Channel 4 television series, looks at four nomadic peoples in some of the most remote and hostile regions on earth: the Turkana, from the barren Rift Valley of northern Kenya; the Mongols, descendants of Genghis Khan; the Even, reindeer herders from the Siberian Arctic; and the Hmenat, a faction of the renowned Mechaout warrior tribe of eastern Mauritania.
