5.0 out of 5 stars Genghis Khan by Harold Lamb, November 27, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Genghis Khan: Emperor of All Men (Hardcover)

I have read this book twice. I was amazed by the description of military strategies and detailed description of just how far the empire reached. This latter is, I believe not realized by many-the incursions into Russia and Western Europe. The impact was, I believe, much greater than the average reader has had exposure to. The territory was massive and sexual tactics changed the genetic makeup of a huge amount of countries. Average history does not teach the impact of rape and its' obvious effect on ethnic, cultural, and racial genetic pools. One can see modern countries that still reflect this genetic impact.

Lamb's histories all read more like historical fiction. He piques your interest and keeps it from the opening page to the very end. Although not a scholarly study of the Great Khan, the book informs as well as entertains.

This review is from: Genghis Khan: Emperor of All Men (Hardcover)

This is one of the best biographies I've read. The author does an excellent job of bringing the reader along the road of Genghis Khan's accomplishments and the great destructiveness he wielded in building an empire. At the end, you can't help but respect and be appalled by the man.
