This epic novel, Genghis Khan, about the world conqueror, was written after eight years of intensive research. During this period of time the author, Sam Djang made numerous trips to Mongolia, Russia, China, and related countries and read hundreds of articles and rare books in the libraries of those countries and beyond. This book (volume 1) was written in the form of a historical novel, and yet 90 percent of its contents are based on actual research. The author believes that his book covers many facts that most of historians have failed to see due to their lack of understanding of the unique cultural, social, political, historical, and geographical background of the people of Genghis Khan. The Mongol empire still remains the largest empire in human history, and its impact has been enormous, including cultural exchange between the East and the West, which has spurred overall human civilization.
