Genghis: Birth of an Empire by Conn Iggulden

4.0

Gripping. It seemed to be completely at odds with the more academic "Genghis Khan and the Making of the Modern World" by Jack Weathorford, but it's been long enough since I read it that perhaps I simply missed some parallels. Iggulden is not shy about highlighting things he modified from his research, and I accepted that this was an entertaining work of fiction with touches of biographical truth.
