The Mongols: A History
The Mongols erupted out of Central Asia in 1206 and soon controlled an empire stretching from Poland to Korea; although remembered as a destructive force, they united a great part of the world under one rule, and their combined arms and mobile tactics have had considerable influence on subsequent military thinkers.<br /><br />Jeremia Curtin, born 1835, was an American translator and folklorist. He died in 1906.
