    The only introductory book on the Mongols one would ever need.
  

*by Z***X on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 24, 2018*

The paradox about the Mongols, their empire, and history is that it's vivid in the public imagination and is a staple in world history books but when one is searching for academic books specially about them, the reality is that there very few actually available. That's when this book comes in. Its author, Morris Rossabi, is a scholar that specializes in Mongolian, Central Asian, and Chinese history. As for the book itself, it is the only but lucid introduction one can ever need and one of the few scholarly books about the Mongols in general. The book has 7 chapters detailing the Mongols ancestral, military, cultural, and religious history from beginnings to fall. Invaluable features include illustrations, maps, genealogical chart of the Khans, and probably best of all, a further reading section. The only drawback is the little coverage of the Chagatai Khanate but its a nitpick. This book is perfect for students, a refreshing read for scholars, and the only academic book on the Mongols that is ideal for general readers.

    A quick history of an often overlooked era
  

*by G***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 27, 2014*

Review – The Mongols A very short Introduction“The Mongols:  A Very Short Introduction” is what it says it is.  For a quick overview of the rise of Ghengis Kahn and the next four generations of Mongol Rule from Hungry east through China with incursions into Russia, Korea and Japan, this is good.  The details of the four main branches of the Ghengis Khan empire from about 1200 to about 1400 are fascinating.  The military history is too complicated to understand in this short version, but the quick review is well done.  The cultural and artisan history is also quite brief as expected from the title, but outlines the subject quite well.  The book leaves one hungering for more.  This book is necessary as the usual Western treatment of this topic is to ignore this history, important as it is.  Combined with “The Silk Road A Very Short Introduction” by James Millward the reader can get a good snapshot of the importance of Central Asia and Mongolia.
