Pretty nice account of Genghis Khan's life and conquest, beginning shortly before his birth and concluding when his empire reaches its zenith. A just-the-facts approach makes for reading a little bit on the dry side, which left me hungering a bit for that sense of Temujin as the larger-than-life figure he must have been. De Hartog presents an objective, even-handed account of the military and political actions that caused Temujin to be called both a genius and a monster. Overall a concise show more and detailed work about the life of a fascinating figure in world history. show less
