Introduction
THE ADMISSION O£ the Mongolian People's Republic to
the United Nations in 1961 aroused sudden interest in
a country which, though it had not itself sealed its fron
tiers or made itself a hermit land, had been neglected
by the outside world for forty years. Mongolia's member
ship in the United Nations has led to the asking of many
questions. What are the relations between Mongolia and
the Soviet Union and China, the only countries with
which it has common frontiers? Is Mongolia a kind of
disguised member-republic of the Soviet Union? Or, on
the other hand, are the Mongols a kind of Chinese?
Is their language a dialect of Chinese? What is the dif
ference between Outer Mongolia and Inner Mongolia?
Did anything ever happen in Mongolia between the
death of Chingis Khan, more than 700 years ago, and
our own times?
In this book I have written a general description of
what Mongolia and the Mongol people are like today,
with frequent references to historical phases of change
