From its earliest beginnings thousands of years ago, the course of man’s progress has been measured by his empires. Large, dynamic flows of power, people, and culture that merge, thrive, then break apart - the pieces only to merge again in a new configuration, the process to be repeated. Through pictures and words, " Their Rise and Fall" brings the reader face to face with many of the world’s greatest empires. Full-color photographs are combined with an absorbing narrative in a lively historical account of each empire and an examination of the period’s most enduring cultural achievements. This volume in the series focuses on Genghis Khan and the Mongols, and on The Mogul Expansion. In the first half of the 13th Century, mention of the Mongol hordes - "the scourge of God" - struck fear in the hearts of all who knew them. They were considered the instrument of God's punishment for the sins of mankind; yet the legacy the Mongols bequeathed to India in literature, music, architecture and painting, remains one of the most notable accomplishments of any civilization.
