Inside, named campaigns and named consequences. Temujin's coronation as Genghis Khan in 1206 and what the kurultai decided about the rules of conquest. The siege of Otrar in 1219, the trade-caravan massacre that triggered the Khwarezmian campaign. Merv in 1221, with the body count recorded by Persian sources and the names of scribes who survived. Hulagu sacking Baghdad in 1258, the Tigris running black with library ink. The 1346 siege of Kaffa, the catapulted plague corpses, and the named Genoese ships that carried the Black Death to Europe. Subutai's deep raids in the 1240s that should have ended Christendom, and what actually stopped them.
The book draws on the Secret History of the Mongols, Persian chronicles, Chinese annals, and modern archaeological work in Mongolia and Iran. If you have read Jack Weatherford or John Man and want a darker, more uncompromising chronicle that does not soften the cost, this is it. The Pax Mongolica had a price, and that price is named in these chapters.
