The Horde: How the Mongols Changed the World (2021) is a history book written by Marie Favereau, a professor at the Paris Nanterre University. It is a historical book about the rise and fall of the Golden Horde and its influence over Europe, particularly in Russia.
In the first chapter, Favereau describes Genghis Khan's system and how he distributed war spoils to all his people. Throughout the book, Favereau refers to much of the notes of Rubruck and Rashid al-Din Hamadani when they traveled all over the empire. Favereau describes the many succession wars over the throne of the Ulus of Jochi and the other uluses.[1]
Reception
[edit]Peter Frankopan, author of The Silk Roads, described the book as "outstanding, original, and revolutionary". Frankopan also wrote that Favereau shows how the Mongols "were able not only to conquer but to control a vast empire." Jack Weatherford, author of many Mongol books, noted Favereau’s “detailed and objective account of the Mongol conquest and rule over Russia” and how it filled in “one of history’s most important missing chapters.”[2]
