Genghis Khan: Life, Death, and Resurrection Paperback – February 6, 2007

John Man really captures the image of the Great Genghis Khan. His writing style is splendid, separating myth from facts, giving plausible assumptions, commenting on theories and assumptions by scholars, and at most painting Genghis as the man he was, the god he became, and the legend that's him..Very excellent read. Worth the money and time.I say buy!!!

Good book. showed up quickly. A very interesting story from a historical perspective

Just finished the paperback edition--which has maps and color pictures. A very good read in the manner of the best dogged English seekers after truth--what can we know about G.K. today? and what does he mean to present day Mongolians and Chinese? A good combination of challenging travel in Central Asia and educated weighing of evidence, with wonderful writing about places.

A brutal story, but it's what happened, and still happens today when fanatics do what they do.

the book gives you a quite comprehensive account on his life, but is a little to much focused on the writers personal adventurers, but the book delivers what the what it is suposed to.

as described

Very fast shipping. Sent this as a gift to a friend in federal prison. I didn't know you could ship directly to prisons from Amazon but apparently you can.

This is a half history book half novel, a theme I noticed in John Man's work, and its one that I find very enjoyable to read, a good read and introduction on Genghis Khan and his legacy on the world as well as great details of his earlier conquests
