Kalka River 1223

Autor David Nicolle, Viacheslav Shpakovsky Ilustrat de Victor Korolkov
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 25 noi 2001
A compact, illustrated guide to a key European conquest for one of history's most legendary leaders.

In 1221, Genghiz, Great Khan of the Mongols, ordered an armed reconnaissance expedition into Russia commanded by Sübodei Bahadur and Jebei Noyon 'The Arrow'. The consequences for the history of Europe were incalculable. The decisive Mongol victory at Kalka River opened up vast regions of Russia and Eastern Europe to Mongol conquest. Genghiz ordered his victorious army to return eastwards, delaying the final cataclysm by a few years. Genghiz died in 1227, but within 10 years his son Ögedei ordered a return to Russia to complete the conquest.

Alongside illustrations and battle maps, the authors detail the events of the dramatic Kalka River campaign.
