Very readable and compelling, Weatherford writes with unambiguous sympathy of Genghis Khan and his immediate family as human beings. While often called revisionist, he is clearly building on the work of earlier writers, like David Morgan, whose 1986 book "The Mongols" Weatherford quotes. Weatherford goes to some length to dispel certain misconceptions about Genghis Khan, as distinct from later rulers & conquerors who claimed to be his descendants.
