THE EARTH IS THE LORD'S BY TAYLOR CALDWELL IN SOUTH AFRICA

The story of the mighty Genghis Khan, leader of a poverty-stricken and insignificant Mongol tribe, who rose to become lord of the vast Gobi, uniting the savage and hitherto warring tribes until they streamed in countless hordes to hammer on the Great Wall of Cathay itself. But so great a prize demands an even greater price.  Surrounded by flatterers, feared by his true friends and betrayed by his beautiful, faithless wife, Genghis Khan finds his triumphs turned to ashes in his mouth.  And when the only woman he truly loves dies for his sake, he lives on solitary, bitter and brooding - a warlike leader of thousands, at war with himself... Soft cover, fair condition.  The cover has some scuffing and creasing.  511 pages.
