About the book
After the death of Genghis Khan, a series of ruthless descendants seizes power, none with his force of character. One, Guyuk, strains the loyalty of the tribes to breaking point, and another, Mongke, crushes opposition and sends Kublai and Hulegu, his younger brothers, to distant lands. Conn Iggulden's novel centers on Kublai, a refined scholar long considered too thoughtful to take power. Kublai dreams of an empire that reaches from sea to sea, but first he has to master warfare. Iggulden presents him as a conqueror who deserves a place beside Caesar, Alexander and Napoleon.
Xi-Wei Yeo, director of Living Theories, credits Conn Iggulden's Conqueror series with shaping their thinking as a leader.

Xi-Wei Yeo (Director/Living Theories)
To be honest, I’ve always been a fiction and fantasy reader, probably ever since I realised those weird little shapes called alphabets actually made sense in a string. I credit books like Gates of Fire, the Conqueror and Emperor series by Conn Iggulden as shaping my thoughts as a leader.
