Features: "Biography of Genghis Khan" presents Genghis Khan as both a great historical figure who achieved remarkable accomplishments as a statesman and military leader, and as someone who committed atrocities against innocent people during his westward expansion. This book, based on the fundamental perspectives of historical materialism, comprehensively reviews and analyzes the historical process of Genghis Khan's growth, his victories over Jamukha and Wang Khan, his conquest of the Western Regions, the swift destruction of the Western Xia, the unification of Northern China, and his subsequent campaigns against the Xia and Jin dynasties, as well as his westward expansion into Central Asia. It also systematically examines the transformation of Kublai Khan from a nomadic Mongol aristocrat into a feudal ruler who was open-minded and adaptable to the economic development requirements of the feudal landlord class in Central China. The book elaborates on Kublai Khan's contributions as an outstanding political leader of a minority ethnic group in learning and implementing "Chinese methods," unifying China, and innovating reforms. Additionally, it points out that the reformist ideas and implementation of "Chinese methods" by Kublai Khan, who originated from a nomadic aristocratic background, were highly limited. He was a great emperor of Chinese origin, deeply marked by the of the nomadic aristocracy.
