Narrative History

Batu. Khan of the Golden Horde: The Mongol Khans Conquer Russia

Russian history is strangely silent on the subject of the conquest of Russia by the Mongol Empire. This book reveals the true story and the reason why Russian history is silent. It is the story of Batu Khan, grandson of Chinggis Khan (Genghis Khan}, who formed an alliance with the Supreme Khan's favorite daughter-in-law, the Princess Sorghagtani, to put her sons on the throne.

An Offer He Couldn't Refuse: A Literary Man in a Military Government

Il-Khan: Why Hulegu Khan Destroyed the Caliphate

Why did the Mongol Emperor give Orders of Submission to the Caliph of Baghdad? This volume reconstructs the story from the contemporary Muslim historians Juvaini and Rashid al-Din.

Diplomat: The Woman Who Saved Europe

The European friar sent by the Pope of Rome to the Mongol court described Princess Sorghagtani as the most remarkable woman of her age. She was an excellent judge of people, well-connected and well-respected. When her husband died, she turned her attention to the careers of her sons instead of making a royal marriage. She moved to China, where she supported the return to normalcy after a quarter century of war.

She had watched her father-in-law build the empire. She was not about to let the house of Ogodei destroy it.

Her story illuminates one of the most brilliant political careers of all time. This is Game of Thrones in Asia, only the story is for real.
