Description
Qaidu (1236-1301), one of the great Mongol Khans, is better known as a rebel than as a state builder. Grandson of Chinggis Khan's designated heir, Ogodei, Qaidu became an active player in the Mongol arena. In this first comprehensive biography of Qaidu, based on a close reading in Persian, Arabic and Chinese sources, Michal Biran reveals a highly important yet lesser-known chapter of the history of 13th century Central Asia, the Mongol Empire in its stages of disintegration, and the formative stages of the Chaghadaid Khanate, that was in fact Qaidu's legacy.
