Gerard Chaliand
-Nomadic Empires skillfully surveys the two thousand year military
history and geopolitical phenomenon that was the reality and legacy
of the Mongol Empire of Genghis-Khan and his heirs... [It] is a
strongly commended addition to academic library reference
collections and inherently fascinating reading for any
non-specialist general reader with an interest in world history.- -
Wisconsin Bookwatch -The book's conciseness, coupled with its ample
time lines and chronologies, makes it an ideal introduction to
Inner Asian history. But its masterful grasp of the disparate
impact of steppe nomad incursions on various Eurasian civilizations
through time also renders it a worthy read for seasoned historians.
Highly recommended.- - E. J. Vajda, Choice
