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