Video: Barbarians - The Mongols

Summary:

Shot in film on location, we examine "The Mongol Catastrophe"--the invasion by nomadic warriors that swarmed out of the east overwhelming the Ottoman Empire. At the greatest point in their conquest, the Mongols controlled an empire that stretched from the Sea of Japan to the Baltic, from Korea to East Germany, taking in most of Eurasia as well. The Mongol warriors pioneered a style of warfare unparalleled in cunning and cruelty--and so revolutionary that it still inspires military strategists.
