This book charts the turbulent twilight of the Mongol imperium and the astonishing resilience of the world it rewired. Beginning with the succession crises after Kublai Khan, it follows the splintering of the Yuan, Ilkhanate, Chagatai, and the Golden Horde—revealing how court intrigue, climate shocks, and the Black Death intersected with finance, technology, and faith.
Across nine deeply researched chapters, the book uncovers how postal roads became arteries for ideas as much as armies; how blue-and-white porcelain, paper finance, and siege machines moved across languages and borders; and how legal reforms and city-building created bureaucratic habits that endured long after dynasties fell.
