Their conquest was measured not in miles but in degrees of longitude. They smashed the gates of empires, overthrew kingdoms, diverted rivers, and depopulated entire countries. They were the Mongols of Genghis Khan, swift and merciless but also resourceful, bold, and cunning. Their tale has seldom been told in the West, and never by an author with the acumen of Harold Lamb.

Ride with young Temujin as he outwits schemers and assassins and rises to conquer Asia as Genghis Khan. Venture to the land beneath the northern lights on a mission of vengeance with Maak the Buriat. Stand with Aruk the gatekeeper and Hugo the Frank as they hold the pass against the Sungar hordes. Lamb’s action-packed Mongolian stories, available here in one complete volume, restore the Mongols to their place in history, portraying them not as mindless barbarians but as men of honor and bravery who laid down their lives for their leader and their lands.

An outstanding anthology

By Carl E. Ramsey on April 16, 2013

Format: Paperback Verified Purchase

Swords from the East is an outstanding anthology of Harold Lamb's short stories and novellas from the adventure magazines of the twenties set between eastern Russia and the far east. Lamb mesmerizes the reader with action and flare as he transports you to the stronghold of Prester John in the days of Genghis Khan. Then he sends you with a Scottish cartographer, hired by a greedy Russion to map Tatar Steppes during unrest in 1771. If you love a good story you will devour this book, then buy the other seven in this remarkable series of reprints by Bison Press, associated with the University of Nebraska, Lincoln.

Harold Lamb Is Readable in History or Fiction

By Dr. Bob Blackwood on July 29, 2014

Format: Paperback Verified Purchase

Lamb's history is better than his fiction, but his fiction is just his history-light, so to speak. His prose style is quite readable.

So, I recommend it to anyone who wants to forget the cares of the 21st Century and remembers when issues could be determined by a man or woman with a blade, rather than someone with an AK-47. Inner peace to all.
