The Mongols & The West

Jackson has mined the meager records to portray the violence, politics and religious interplay between the disparate adversaries in eastern Europe and west Asia. He also convinces one that the Christians had no real hope for converting the Mongols, who were basically shamanistic when they left the Mongolian steppe but were very tolerant of all faiths under their dominion.

Genghis Khan: Secret History

An absolutely charming and very readable account of the life of Genghis Khan, based on "The Secret History of the Mongols" which is the earliest known written account of his childhood and later conquests. The places, people and incidents mentioned are all true, yet so fantastic as to appear to the reader that they must surely have been invented to entertain him.

Hold The Dog !
