Focuses primarily on Mongol archaeological pieces. Packed with many
beautiful colour plates - much like a "coffee table" fine art book, except it
also has lotsa descriptive text regarding all of the pieces and the cultural when, why,
where, who and how, includes a few historical narratives of Mongol battles, conquests and
ventures.

My best book of factuals regarding Genghis Khan. Deals primarily with the
main man, Genghis Khan; his birth, rise to power, conquests and death. Covers the
development of the Mongol military, government and bureaucracy.

Reads like a novel; a very entertaining collection of well documented
stories and lore from the birth to the death of Genghis. This reads very nicely by the
warm flames of a cozy autumn fireplace.
|
Provides for a pre-Genghis Khan study in the history, culture and the
background environment from which the Mongols of the Asiatic Steppes rose to power. Also
covers the rise of the Mongols unto Genghis' death.
