He was also one of the earlier proponents of woman's rights. And he did invent paper money from what I understand. He was actually a early day liberal with his views on the equalization of all people in his empire including the vanquished.

When your done with Khan, you might want to read up on Atilla the Hun, who had a amazingly interesting life.

Looger other interesting examples of losers writing history was the use of the media in America after the attacks by the Japanese on Pearl Harbor, where racial stereotypes were magnified and the brutality of the Japaneses people was used to great effectiveness while the American's were on the wrong side of the pacific war. A great many of those stereotypes still sneak into people's perceptions til this day.

The Germans positively terrified thier own civillians with propoganda about the Russian hordes and thier raping and throwing of children onto fires when the Russian's began thier long march to Moscow. You still saw a lot of that viewpoint in 20th century history when it comes to the portrayal of Russians in contemporary literature.
