Best biography/literature on Genghis Khan? Currently considering Paul Ratchnevsky's but that sounds like its lacking in maps and may be not exactly what I'm looking for. Weathorford's might be more on the right track but also has issues

Is this really all there is though? I understand there isn't many surviving historical sources about it but for him and the mongols to be so casually overlooked is incredible

Would love some Mongolian or Mongol-adjacent litkino.

Read whatever Morris Rossabi has written on the Mongols. Genghis Khan is actually pretty overrated. Khubilai Khan is a far more interesting figure.

Look into whatever sources Dan Carlin used for Wrath of the Khans. I think he lists them on his website.

>The greatest happiness is to scatter your enemy, to drive him before you, to see his cities reduced to ashes, to see those who love him shrouded in tears, and to gather into your bosom his wives and daughters.

Is it our fault these slim-eyed niggas didn't write more about themselves?
They sure were too busy raping, destroying and complaining about the invading chinese culture.

Stfu Mongol genetic trash. Go bow to your new Chinese overlords. You have more enemies than just the Chinese fyi. Now that we're allies of Chinese, I will make sure to abduct some of their children and gouge out their eyes as a present to the memory of your Genghis Shit.
