history of the Horde, the western portion of the
Mongol empire that arose after the death of
Chinggis Khan, Marie Favereau takes us inside
one of the most powerful engines of economic
integration in world history to show that their
accomplishments extended far beyond the
battlefield. Central to the extraordinary
commercial boom that brought distant
civilizations in contact for the first time, the
Horde had a unique political regime8213acomplex
power-sharing arrangement between the khan and
nobility8213tht rewarded skillful
administrators and fostered a mobile, innovative
economic order. From their capital on the lower
Volga River, the Mongols influenced state
structures in Russia and across the Islamic
world, disseminated sophisticated theories about
the natural world, and introduced new ideas of
religious tolerance.An eloquent, ambitious, and
definitive portrait of an empire that has long
been too little understood, The Horde challenges
our assumptions that nomads are peripheral to
history and makes it clear that we live in a
world shaped by Mongols.8220Th Mongols have
