The Mongol army led by Genghis Khan subjugated more lands and people in twenty-?ve years than the Romans did in four hundred. In nearly every country the Mongols conquered, they brought an unprecedented rise in cultural communication, expanded trade, and a blossoming of civilization. Vastly more progressive than his European or Asian counterparts, Genghis Khan abolished torture, granted universal religious freedom, and smashed feudal systems of aristocratic privilege. From the story of his rise through the tribal culture to the explosion of civilization that the Mongol Empire unleashed, this brilliant work of revisionist history is nothing less than the epic story of how the modern world was made.

听书。中学课本学了好多元朝的事,长大后才知道根本不是历史中的蒙古国。蒙古国对欧亚沟通的作用,怎样用那么少的人统治世界上最大的地盘?

基于多年的实地考察和文献研究,作者驳斥了那种普遍存在的只强调蒙古帝国对其所占领的欧亚文明所带来毁灭性打击的观点,仔细检验了成吉思汗及其子孙所建立的横跨东亚、南亚、中东、俄罗斯与东欧的蒙古帝国的功绩:极大地促进了东西方文明的交流,自由贸易区和区域性货币的建立,宗教自由的引入,跨国人才的任命,对酷刑的废除等,并在经济基础与上层建筑双方面促进了西欧文艺复兴的发轫。同时也将成吉思汗从神坛和王座上拉下来,还... 基于多年的实地考察和文献研究,作者驳斥了那种普遍存在的只强调蒙古帝国对其所占领的欧亚文明所带来毁灭性打击的观点,仔细检验了成吉思汗及其子孙所建立的横跨东亚、南亚、中东、俄罗斯与东欧的蒙古帝国的功绩:极大地促进了东西方文明的交流,自由贸易区和区域性货币的建立,宗教自由的引入,跨国人才的任命,对酷刑的废除等,并在经济基础与上层建筑双方面促进了西欧文艺复兴的发轫。同时也将成吉思汗从神坛和王座上拉下来,还原为一个有血有肉有感情的儿子、丈夫和父亲。 (展开)

满足了后现代对克里斯玛的一切幻想:成吉思汗强调男女平等!成吉思汗提倡和平共存!成吉思汗支持宗教自由!作者还声称:“我一定要到蒙古草原上,骑着心爱的马儿,领悟成吉思汗的伟大与光辉!”历史建构的性质显露无疑,不会中文,不会蒙文,不会波斯文(那又如何能读懂《史集》),不会德语……用所谓“全球史”的视角淡化基本的史学功底和语文学道德,是其畅销的重要原因。
