Review: Genghis Khan and the Making of the Modern World

Genghis Khan and the Making of the Modern World by Jack Weatherford
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

First part is the biography of genghis khan, second part is history of his heirs and how they conquered the world. Very interesting in that genghis, the original, was nothing like his reputation but his heirs were. Recommend

Review: Almost A Miracle: The American Victory in the War of Independence

Almost A Miracle: The American Victory in the War of Independence by John Ferling
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Considered a classic history of the American revolution. Mostly battles and strategy - congress and politics are bit players. Highly recommend
