What people on Hacker News said
Khan as a historical figure fascinates me and I enjoyed this book.
Weatherford did a great job of explaining that missing half of the story for the Mongols, even though he gives a disappointing analysis of the human cost of building the empire.
Genghis Khan and the Making of the Modern World by Jack Weatherford. A very un-assuming book that taught me lot about leadership.
