A panoramic history of the roots of China and Mongolia's historic rivalry... and why it matters now.
'A beguiling blend of history and intimate narrative - and a delight to read.' Colin Thubron, author of Shadow of the Silk Road
The Great Wall of China - stretching from the arid rises of Gansu province to the cold waters of the Bohai Sea - remains an enduring symbol of Chinese might. And yet for all its grandeur, the Wall also marks a vulnerability: an ever-present reminder of old battlelines and never-ending tension with China's northern neighbours.
Travelling by sacred mountains and along forgotten trade routes, John Man journeys through China and Mongolia, tracing the contours of their uneasy shared histories. From the tumult of the Warring States Period to the present day, Man weaves a thrilling tale of battling warlords, imperial power plays, Soviet interference and contemporary political manoeuvring. Looking to the future of the region, Conquering the North canvasses the still fractious interplay of two rival cultures and the continuing struggle for Mongolian sovereignty as China continues to edge north.
