Mongols

"Of tremendous importance in world history," a chronicle of the Mongol Empire by one of America's "foremost scholars" (from the foreword by Theodore Roosevelt).

The Mongols were the superpower of their day, erupting out of Central Asia in 1206 to conquer an empire stretching from Poland to Korea. Their arrival in the Middle East upset the very tenuous balance between Christendom and Islam, sparking a long-simmering rivalry that has lasted to this day.

An absorbing, detailed narrative on the clans, feuds, battles, and conquests of the Mongol era, The Mongols: A History covers every aspect of Mongol intrigue, logistics, and tactics.

"An epic of such wonderful interest." –The American Historical Review
