Filled in a huge hole in world history for me
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
The book through its understanding of Genghis Khan and his descendants provided links among the history of Asia, Russia, China, India and the Middle East. It was fascinating and brought the best elements of the Mongols to life in a constructive way .
history made fun for a 10yr old

After watching Mongol my son had more questions on who this Genghis Khan person was. I was thrilled when I found this book, and the others in the series. He loved it!! He loves history anyway, but he enjoyed this book and learned a lot. Also got him the Ivan the Terrible book and he showed empthay towards ole Ivan and blamed his terrible-ness on his terrible childhood! If you have a young one in your life that loves history - especially the gorier parts - check out this series.

I teach world history to 8th graders and this book is solid gold. Not for the squeamish, the book's brief bio of Genghis Khan really brought this tyrant to life. Kids love it. Plan on ordering a class set for next year.
Good biography of Genghis Khan

My son just finished reading this and I read it after him. It was a quick read and really tried to show all the dimensions of the ruler Genghis Khan. I look forward to other books in this series coming out in paperback. We bought a paperback copy of this one through the Scolastic school book order.
