How did a band of nomadic herdsmen achieve so much, so fast?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDespite these stunning achievements, many writers dismiss the Mongols as just ferocious barbarians. This bestselling book sets the record straight. The epic starts in 1206 - when Genghis became master of 'all the people with felt tents' and an unknown tribe took the first steps towards world domination - and ends with the empire's decline and fall, after Khubilai Khan's triumphant unification with China.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRobert Marshall describes their devastating invasions, including that of feudal Europe and Christendom's clumsy attempts to understand and fend off these legendary warriors. Full of extraordinary events, painted on a vast and colourful canvas, Storm from the East brings to life a time when East and West finally came face to face and the contours of modern Asia were set.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e'Storm from the East does not seek to excuse Mongol excesses - yet Robert Marshall appears to speak for the Mongols...
