Summary: Great story, great writing
Review: Read this book. I read the hardcover in case you are wondering why I am commenting on a book that is not out yet. I got this book out of a whim, not really knowing much about Genghis Khan. Wow, what a story. Could not put it down. Reads like a real nail-biting novel. They should definitely make a move from this book.
Rating: 
Summary: Appalling, tedious, yet curiously entertaining.
Review: Some chapters don't really deal with the wars but culture which is irrelevant. The prelude to the war with China and Khwarezm was interesting, but description was a little too tedious. Keeps repeating how he ravaged the cities. Interesting notes about the Christian hero Prester John.

Summary: Quite good
Review: This is quite a good book overall. It is easy to follow and understand. If you are looking for a book on Genghis Khan's early life, I would not suggest this book, though. It basically starts at Genghis's conquering. The author talks more about the Khwarazm empire then I think is necessary, but it is interesting in its own way. Also, the book dedicates more on Ogodei than the title suggests. This book is very informative of the battles and reasons for the battles of Genghis Khan. If you are looking for a book on the military campaigns of Genghis Khan, I would definately suggest this book.
