When Chinggis khan ascended the pulpit of a mosque in Bukhara, Muslims across the world viewed the Mongols as a punishment sent by God for their sins. Yet, within a hundred years the Mongols were largely Muslim rulers and Islam had spread into new territories. Exploring the empire from the perspective of its subjects, particularly its Muslim inhabitants, this book examines the empire as an entity that changed through time and compares how the ecology, economics, religion and the Chinggisid dynasty affected all portions of the empire.
