Good Mix of History and Travelogue
It was said of the Mongol Empire under the great Kahn that a virgin with a hundred pounds of gold could travel from one end of the empire to the other with no fear of losing anything. Now I'm not so sure you could make it accross Central Park. On the other hand if ...

Understanding Iraq: The Whole Sweep of Iraqi history
The author is highly experienced and well informed. The historical perspective is extensive but the book is written in a very readable style. A tremendous help in understanding the conflict and the issues of that part of the world.

Good biography of Genghis Khan
My son just finished reading this and I read it after him. It was a quick read and really tried to show all the dimensions of the ruler Genghis Khan. I look forward to other books in this series coming out in paperback. We bought a paperback copy of this one through ...
Genghis Khan's Greatest General: Subotai the Valiant
Richard A. Gabriel
University of Oklahoma Press
, 2006
Loved It
Unfortunately little information is available from that era as to Subotai the man. As a subordinate, the scribes of the Royal Court would have naturally spent most of their historical writings (accurate or exaggerated) about the Khans themselves more than their ...

Genghis Khan Lords of the Bow
I have read all of Conn Iggulden's books on Julius Caesar and Genghis Khan and loved them all. I couldn't put them down. You feel you know his characters; he brings them to life. In the midst of it all, you learn about the lifestyles, geography, and people of the ...

Rekindles Interest - The Art of War Mongolian Style
This is a readable and well-researched book. It moves fast and is rich with facts. I even enjoyed reading the chapter notes in the back. "The Mongol Art of War" covers the years 1185-1265 and the leaders Chinggis (Genghis) Kahn through Khubilai (Kubla) Kahn. In all ...

The Rise
I have been a huge fan of British authors David Gemmell and Angus Wells, both of whom have passed away in recent years. I saw Conn Iggulden's book Genghis on the shelf in the store. The unusual name first drew my attention and then the title. I am a fan of the ...

Genghis Khan: His Life and Legacy
Paul Ratchnevsky
Wiley-Blackwell
, 1993
Superb Reference
Those who want an exciting and romantically embelished account of Temujin's (Genghis Khan) life should stick with Harold Lamb. His account is certainly more fun, but also laced with poetic license that at times becomes outright misleading. Lamb is an introduction to ...
