Empire of the Mongols details how the Mongols were able to sweep so swiftly and effectively across the plains and establish a great empire, and why it was ultimately an empire they could not control. Connections in our own world to the Mongols include military tactics that are still used today, words such as ""czar"" and ""horde,"" and the enduring myths of Chinggis and Kublai Khan and Tamerlane, which have fired imaginations for centuries.
