Product Description
Mongolia, the Dead Heart of Asia. Bleak, harsh and empty, it is in essence a cold desert, the temperature in winter falling to minus 35 degrees and remaining below freezing point until March. It is also world's second oldest communist state, and area where free ranging travel has been forbidden to Westerners for over seventy years.
But in Autumn of 1989 Tim Severin received a unique invitation: to ride across this extraordinary and remote land in the company of a band of Mongolian horsemen intent on re-enacting the feat of the thirteenth century courier riders who served the greatest and most notorious Mongol of them all, Genghis Khan.
