The Secret History of the Mongol Queens: How the daughters of Genghis Khan rescused the empire by Jack Weatherford

Okay. So, this book spans the entire history of the Mongol culture, and it is really to epic and long to give a full review. I'll just say,"Genghis Khan was an incredibly brillient leader and his daughters were equally brillient." The Mongols did everything better than you. Mongol Queens did it best. Genghis Khan should have abandoned his sons in a ditch in the forest.
