Forget what you know about Genghis Khan before. This book will change your view on him and the role of Mongols in history. Weatherford took the opposite view of a typical Westerner on Genghis Khan and showed in his book clearly that Genghis and Mongols are not as a barbaric tribe devouring blood. But they are a "civilization" with an established legal system, taste for art, mind for trade.
Weatherford helped me to place Mongols to their proper place in the world history with their faults and contributions...
