This story goes the
early years of Temujin, the second son of the
khan of the Wolves
tribe, the better known to us as Genghis Khan, who being abandoned at the
age of 13 when his father was killed. His tribe wouldn''t let him or his brothers take over and they threw him, his mother and six other children out on the
plains in an incredibly brutal climate. It''s fascinating how they survived such a horrific start in
life.
Genghis Khan died at the age of about 60. You have one life and you can''t count the first 10 years because you are controlled by parents and adults, but you have 50 years - and that''s what we all have.
If you enjoyed Iggulden''s previousworks - such as his "
Conqueror" series on Julius Caesar, or the bestselling The Dangerous Book For Boys - this falls in the same meaty vein. Starting with the conqueror''s early years in the harsh Mongolian plains and following his coming of age with the hunter-and-gatherer tribe, it''s a gripping journey of one famous figure born in unforgiving circumstances but who fought his way to greatness? Check it out for this book..
