The history of the Mongol conquests is a catalogue of superlatives.

No army in the world has ever conquered so much territory, and few armies have provoked such terror as the Mongol hordes. So vast was the extent of the Mongol Empire that the samurai of Japan and the Teutonic Knights of Prussia had each fought the same enemy while being unaware of each other's existence.

Genghis Khan & the Mongol Conquests 1190–1400 provides a concise yet thorough account of the Mongol conquests. It includes the rise of Genghis Khan and the unification of the tribes, offering up-to-date information on campaign logistics, tactics, and horse breeding.
