Story takes place in the 13th century - the sons and grandsons of Ghengis Khan set out to complete the conquests started by their father/grandfather. The barbaric Mongolian horse nomads ruthlessly dictated over a great part of the world. A riveting historical narrative about the Mongol Khans.

An easy informative read,

This review is from: The march of the barbarians
I found this book at a summer house and and once I opened it I knew my days would be spent reading it. This book relates the life of the Golden Family, Genghis Khan and his decendents in a way that makes it fascinating. How I never learned ANY of this history in school I can't believe. Lamb's greatest strength is his ability to tell the tales from the Mongol perspective. I HIGHLY recommed this book.

I never knew!,
By steve wahl (north canton, ohio, usa) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The march of the barbarians
Either I was not paying attention in school or my history teacher neglected this chapter in history. The author did a very good job at letting the reader understand the primitive barbaric mind. How events preceeding helped develope the mongols into the superpower they became. It also gave insight on how it shaped our world today.

This review is from: The march of the barbarians
This is a great book. A friend gave this old ratty and torn book printed in the 1940's. I opened the cover and before I knew it, I was finnished. There are many interesting portions to this book namely Kubli Khan in 1257 became aware, upon listening to an Islamic Imam preeching, of the Quraan's objectives. Shocked upon what he heard Kubli Khan called for the most respected Mullah and asked him if it was true that with Islam's Quraan for the Moslem to kill all of the non-Moslems. The Mullah replied that the Quraan does. Kubli asked "Why do you not follow your Quraan?" The Mullah responded "It is not time. We are not powerful enough yet." Kubli relied "I am powerful enough!" and killed the Mollah and killed or expelled the rest of the Islamic population of indo-China. This seems to fit in with the realities that face the civilized world and also remends me of a quote by George Santayana....
