«Genghis Khan and the Making of the Modern World» is a 2004 book by Jack Weatherford, Dewitt Wallace Professor of Anthropology at Macalester College. It describes the rise and impact of Genghis Khan. The text is based largely on the «Secret History of the Mongols» and also some parts from other Islamic and Chinese sources. Weatherford follows these sources to present Genghis Khan in a far more positive light than traditional Western historiography. Indeed, the last section of the book deals with historiography of Genghis Khan and traces how, according to Weatherford, his earlier neutral image was converted from an «excellent, noble king» into that of a bloodthirsty pagan during the Age of Enlightenment.
