review 1: [audiobook] Absolutely fascinating! I want to get a hardcopy of this so I can go back through and take notes. My favorite bits were those that revealed some of the personality and character of the historical figures (excerpts from historical documents) and the details about Mongolian culture from the time of Gengis Khan onward. This book also revealed to me how very little I actually knew about the history of Mongolia and the areas that became part of the Mongolian Empire, and about Genghis Khan himself (he was a much more moderate and wise fellow than I ever realized, with some quite enlightened attitudes and laws regarding women (according to this book, at least).(Be warned: there were several passages that were so gruesome and horrendous that it was hard for me to read ... morethem, detailing punishments and wartime acts of extreme brutality)
review 2: It gives you a perspective on how much we have distanced ourselves from the nature. My belief in the power of Eternal Sky and Mother Earth has been strengthened after reading this book. The Chinese tactics that have been used in order to lure the Mongols by corrupting their eyes, ears, mouth, and mind seem to have gone viral everywhere and never stopped. Wonderful book that portrays both good and bad. less
