Kublai Khan: The Mongol King Who Remade China is the definitive biography of one of history’s most powerful rulers. Written by the author of Genghis Khan and Attila, it tells the extraordinary true story of Kublai Khan—the grandson of Genghis Khan—who inherited a vast Mongol empire and transformed it into the largest continuous land empire in history.
Unlike his warrior grandfather, Kublai combined military strength with political wisdom. He shifted the empire’s center of power from Mongolia to China, establishing a sophisticated and prosperous dynasty that shaped Asia’s future. Through intelligence, diplomacy, and cultural fusion, Kublai gave China its modern borders and laid the foundation for its rise as a global power. His reign, introduced to the West through Marco Polo’s accounts, remains a remarkable blend of conquest, governance, and vision.
