Genghis Kahn

On Tuesday I finished the second book on my summer fun reading list, Genghis Khan and the Making of the Modern World. This was basically a history of the Mongolian Empire in the 12th-14th centuries, as it rose under Genghis Khan, and then how power was divided and governance executed under his grandson Kublai Khan. Written in an engaging style, this was a fantastic summer read, and a great book for helping one to understand the global changes of the early modern era, as well as for understanding the widely misinterpreted Mongol culture and Empire.
