Genghis Khan and the Making of the Modern World

Absolutely fantastic book. It should be a required reading for everyone. Mongols were so far ahead of their time it's hard to believe. Equality and coexistence of religions, nationalities, races,...everything was standard under Genghis and even more under Kublai. European image of them could not be more wrong. While we were burning witches they had an open debates (with lots of alcohol) amongst Christians, Muslims, and Buddhists. Mind blowing.
