Summary: A swashbuckling historical adventure
Comment: Lamb's histories all read more like historical fiction. He piques your interest and keeps it from the opening page to the very end. Although not a scholarly study of the Great Khan, the book informs as well as entertains.

Rating: 5
Summary: History The Way It Should Be Told
Comment: WOW! This book brings to life the achievements of a man who had his heart set to conquer! The next time you're driving on a highway on your daily commute to work, look forward into the distance and try to picture how it would've been for an entire army to cross the distance from China to Europe on foot, through deserts and mountains! Forget all about the quick conclusions about "the cruelty of the hordes." That may have been the norm for the dark ages and for times of war. Perhaps Temujin (Genghis Khan) was a greater soul than he is oftentimes portrayed to be. This book is about a leader. It depicts an extraordinary man who had vision, acted on his convictions, inspired his people and led them to victory.

Rating: 5
Summary: An excellent read
Comment: A brilliant recounting of the life of a dominating figure of the 13th century. I am very surprised that the events of the Genghis Khan are not thought in schools. Due to this disappointing fact, I highly recommend this book to anyone who appreciates large scale conquests and for those who like to study history.
