The Horde:How the Mongols Changed the World(2021) is a history book written by Marie Favereau, a professor at the Paris Nanterre University. It is a historical book about the rise and fall of the Golden Horde and its influence over Europe, particularly in Russia.

In the first chapter, Favereau describes Genghis Khan’s system and how he distributed war spoils to all his people. Throughout the book, Favereau refers to much of the notes of Rubruck and Rashid al-Din Hamadani when they traveled all over the empire. Favereau describes the many succession wars over the throne of the Ulus of Jochi and the other uluses.

Reception

Peter Frankopan, author of The Silk Roads, noted how “outstanding, original, and revolutionary” it was. Peter also notes how Marie Favereau shows how the Mongols “were able not only to conquer but to control a vast empire.”
