Customer Reviews

A great introduction to this little known emperor

My children and I found this book fascinating and full of factual information. There is little written at this level about this man who had such an influence in connecting the west with the east. Reading this interesting and detailed overview will make you want to read more. I couldn't disagree more with the negative editorial review.

Excellent Historical Adventure About Genghis Khan

This is an outstanding book that I highly recommend to anyone who wants to read more then the plain dry history texts. Harold Lamb wrote a novel that is contextually accurate and describes events of the period. Of course, the conversations and detailed actions of the individuals are simply speculation, but the style in which they are written is lively and interesting. This is a thoroughly enjoyable book! If the reader has an understanding of the history of this period, and the events that were taking place, then so much the better!!
