"I am completely and unabashedly biased regarding how awesome I find the Mongols to be. While many books focus on politics, religion, etc...this one is one o fthe best assessments I have read of their tremendously advanced military strategy.
"After watching the movie, Mongol, I found this on my shelf and read it. It's a quick read and a good introduction to the Mongols and the empire they conquered. I have an older edition and the only quibble I have is the maps could have been a bit better and more detailed. As they are though, it was easy enough to follow along."
"I am no Historian but I feel like scholarship for this book is bit suspect (partly because the book is filled with lots of "So and So was greedy and had a bad temper). But it's very entertaining and "The Mongol War Machine" chapter was the most fascinating thing I've read in a long while."
"I found this book very interesting. We talk about the roman and persian empires of old but rarely do you hear about the mongols and the extend of their empire. This books chronicles the entire thing as well as the tactics used in their warfare. They were pretty amazing."
