Summary:
The relationship between man and horse on the Eurasian steppe gave rise to a succession of rich nomadic cultures. Among them were the Mongols of the thirteenth century--a small tribe, which, under the charismatic leadership of
Genghis
Khan
, created the largest contiguous
land
empire in history. Inspired by the extraordinary life
nomads
lead, Tim Cope embarked on a
journey
that hadn't been successfully completed since those times: to travel on horseback across the entire length of the Eurasian steppe, from Karakorum, the ancient capital of Mongolia,
through
Kazakhstan, Russia, Crimea and the Ukraine to the Danube River in Hungary.
Genre:
Travel memoirs.
