Book Overview
From the Kegan Paul classic collection, this is the definitive history of the Tartars up to the conquests of Ghengis Khan as seen by the Chinese. Using original Chinese histories beginning with the first Chinese references to the nomads "whose country was on the back of a horse", Professor Parker traces the rise and fall of the seven great Tartar empires who fought the Chinese for control of North China for a thousand years. Famous battles, ingenious military strategies, dynastic struggles, ritual sacrifices, royal intrigues, and the rivalries of the Tartar harems are described in detail, as is the Tartar way of life in which children were taught to ride from infancy and to believe that force was their only law.
