Genghis Khan and the Making of the Modern World

I don't remember studying the Khans in any of my history classes from elementary through undergrad. All my history classes frame civilization rising from Egypt to Greece to Rome and then Europe. Any mention of Asia is simply as backward barbarians. This book helped provide a far more nuanced view of the Mongol society and contributions of the Khans to our shared history.

Mr. Weatherford does an excellent job telling the story. I had a hard time putting the book down (or pausing audible).

I highly recommend this book for anyone interested in history or just a good story.
