Lords Of The Bow - Audio Book

Product Description

Details: The gathering of the tribes of the Mongols has been a long time in coming but finally, triumphantly, Temujin of the Wolves, Genghis Khan, is given the full accolade of the overall leader & their oaths. Now he can begin to meld all the previously warring people into one army, one nation. But the task Genghis has set himself & them is formidable. He is determined to travel to the land of the long-time enemy, the Chin & attack them there. The distances & terrain-the wide deserts, the impenetrable mountains-make it a difficult venture even for the legendary Mongolian speed of movement, but the greatest problem is that of the complex fortifications, a way of fighting wars of a settled urban population which the nomadic Mongolians had never come across. Finding ways to tackle that & keeping his tribes together in a strange environment presents another new & exciting challenge for Genghis Khan. Not only must Genghis succeed in this incredible campaign, but he must also reconcile the restless factions among his own generals, mediate between his ambitious brothers & cope with his own reactions to his growing sons. The young warrior has become a notable & victorious military commander of thousands: he must now learn to become a great leader of peoples of many different races & religions. Read by Russell Boulter. Ideal for: Conn Iggulden & historical fiction fans. Running time approximately: 6.5 hours. 5 CD's abridged.
