An Evening with John Man

Join us for a special evening at Stroud Green & Harringay Library with acclaimed historian John Man, who will be discussing his latest book, 'Conquering the North: China, Russia, Mongolia: 2000 Years of Conflict'. 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. John Man is a historian specialising in Mongolia and the relationship between Mongol and Chinese cultures. John’s books have been published in over twenty languages around the world and include bestselling biographies of Genghis Khan, Kublai Khan and Attila the Hun, as well as histories of the Great Wall of China and the Mongolian Empire.
