The Mongol Conquests - The Military Operations of Genghis Khan and Sübe'etei, Carl Fredrik Sverdrup.
A detailed examination of the campaigns of the two greatest Mongol
military leaders, using a wide range of sources, including previously
un-translated Chinese materials. Gives a clear picture of the true
nature of the Mongol conquests, from Genghis's own establishment of
