Reviews

-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
