The Hordes

     I just finished Ghengis Khan and the Making of the Modern World by Jack Weatherford. The book was simply amazing. The scholarship is top-notch, and paints a dynasty that many thought to be simple barbarians as leaders the likes of which put Alexander and Caesar to shame. Even better, I think I got an idea for my own fiction. I'll have to do some more research now.
