The Mongols and Global History (Norton Documents Reader)

This is a superb and concise history of the Mongolian era and its influences on all of the held territories. It also provides a genealogy of his heirs and their conquests. I believe it has adequately prepared me for my trip there next week.

Here is a brief work which will begin to plug a gap in knowledge for most Americans. As a starting point for understanding contemporary Islamic issues, you can start here..

The Reader was very thought provoking. Each Chapter presented a key aspect of the Mongols which also provided thoughtful questions for the reader to consider about that topic area. An outstanding addition to any collection concerning Mongol studies.

As if I got it from a book store!

The selection of works made by the author is very good even tho not exhaustive but in this latter case the book should have been thicker and dearer.

Very good reference book with original documents and a general history of the Mongols which is just what I needed

Clutch

Very useful. Translates sources otherwise not readily available in English, particularly Kirakos of Ganjak.

Se trata de una selección de textos con valor historiográfico. Algunos de ellos están traducidos al castellano en versiones publicadas, pero otros no. Valioso para profesores de historia o estudiosos de la historia global con necesidad de consulta de fuentes. No es una historia de los mongoles para leerla en el sillón como lectura amena. Es otra historia. Para eso hay otras monografías.
