I review Genghis Khan and the Making of the Modern World. From a starving outcast on the Mongolian steppe to the founder of the largest contiguous empire in history, Genghis Khan reshaped the world through military innovation, legal reform, and cultural integration. As a Uyghur girl learning this history, I reflect on the early Uyghur-Mongol alliance, their shared legacy, Silk Road connections, and the brutal brilliance of Mongol warfare.
