He knows it and doesn't hold it against me. My dad, however, is a huge fan and has read everything, including the early, out-of-print, impossible-to-find books. Jack has spent a lot of time in Mongolia researching this book and The Secret History of the Mongol Queens, almost needless to say except that it has become a second home for him. Thanks for your review...I'm bumping this up my tbr list! Jack Weatherford and his wife are my good friends, but I’m slightly ashamed to admit that I have never read one of his books.

I know very little about Genghis Khan except what I read in this book. I found it at a bookstore, but I can see how it would make an excellent book club choice. He certainly had an interesting and controversial life. I can’t speak to the accuracy of this book, but I can say that it is an entertaining read.
