Having listened a couple of years kago to the 5 Star captivating and detailed podcast by Funjokyk Dan Carlin - HardCore Histroy[b:Wrath of the Khans|37804116|Wrath of the Khans (Hardcore History, #43-47)|Dan Carlin|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1514984298s/37804116.jpg|59475697][bc:Wrath of t...
This is a very entertaining, thought-provoking and well-written book. The relatively low rating reflects my lingering skepticism. The back of the book itself calls it "revisionist history" and Weatherford is not a historian, but an anthropologist. Although to give him his due, he was part of a team ...
I bought this book for two reasons. 1) It was a daily deal and 2) the audible reviews on this books seemed to be one of the most consistently positive I had ever seen.I knew nothing about that period of history before reading this book. My bad. Now I understand why I was wrong to have ignored this t...
This is a book that can and should be read by everyone, at least all with the slightest interest in world history. I feel this so adamantly since what it tells us does away with serious misconceptions about the Mongol Empire. It explains in a clear and comprehensible manner how the world we live in...
This was quite interesting without being very interesting, unfortunately. Theres a lot of cool bits and pieces, but they're thrown off a bit off-hand.

I look forward to reading his others books, which span a range of topics : money, Native American...
I'm really going to miss this book. I'm not sure how much of it I'm going to really remember, but I have learned things. I have always heard that history is written by the victors. This is very true, this book and the modern lack of understanding and even hate of Genghis Khan shows this very well. T...
I lost interest after about 2 hours. The guy's a cultural anthropologist who sat around the Mongolian steepes for five years (after sailing the ocean littoral for several more) eating yak meat in the snow with a group of Mongolian (some, self-styled) scholars. That's very interesting, but doesn't ex...
This noble king was called Genghis Khan,Who in his time was of so great renownThat there was nowhere in no regionSo excellent a lord in all things.He lacked nothing that belonged to a king.As of the sect of which he was bornHe kept to his law, to which he was sworn.And thereto he was hardy, wise, an...
