I've been meaning to read this book for years and finally got around to it. I'm sorry I waited, but I do feel rewarded as I learned more from this book than from almost anything I've read. While I have visited both “Inner” and “Outer” Mongolia, I was sadly ignorant about Genghis Khan and the history of the Mongols. This book is very readable, yet filled with fascinating historical detail. I would recommend it to anyone interested in history, Asian or otherwise, because the Mongols had such a great impact on the entire world.
