Genghis Khan: The Mongol Storm — From the Steppe to the Fall of Baghdad (1258)

In February 1258, the Mongols destroyed Baghdad — but the storm began a century earlier, with an orphaned boy on the Mongolian steppe. This is the complete story of Genghis Khan: his brutal rise, the unification of the tribes, the war machine he built, the annihilation of Khwarazm, and the empire that outlived him — until Hulagu's army reached the City of Peace.
