An accessible, documents-based introduction to the history of the Mongols.

The volume opens with a brief original essay by Morris Rossabi, one of the world’s foremost scholars on the Mongols. Rossabi’s essay gives a historical and interpretive overview of the Mongols and charts their invasions and subsequent rule over the largest contiguous land empire in world history. Following is a rich collection of primary sources translated into English from Armenian, Arabic, Chinese, Franco-Italian, Italian, Korean, Latin, Persian, Russian, Syriac, and Tibetan that will give students a clear sense of the extraordinary geographic and linguistic range of the Mongol Empire as well as insight into the empire’s rise, how it governed, and how it fell. Each primary source includes a headnote and study questions. The volume ends with a list of further readings.

About the series: The Norton Casebooks in History provide students with everything they need for in-depth study of select topics in major periods studied in American and world history. Each volume consists of an introductory essay by the editor on the topic, primary sources, and recent essays by historians that explore different interpretations. Each volume combines the most authoritative text available with contextual and critical materials that bring the topic to life for students.

5.0 out of 5 stars Comprehensive Study and Text

The Reader was very thought provoking. Each Chapter presented a key aspect of the Mongols which also provided thoughtful questions for the reader to consider about that topic area. An outstanding addition to any collection concerning Mongol studies.

The selection of works made by the author is very good even tho not exhaustive but in this latter case the book should have been thicker and dearer.

This is a superb and concise history of the Mongolian era and its influences on all of the held territories. It also provides a genealogy of his heirs and their conquests. I believe it has adequately prepared me for my trip there next week.

5.0 out of 5 stars para estudiosos
Reviewed in Spain on October 23, 2016
Verified Purchase
Se trata de una selección de textos con valor historiográfico. Algunos de ellos están traducidos al castellano en versiones publicadas, pero otros no. Valioso para profesores de historia o estudiosos de la historia global con necesidad de consulta de fuentes. No es una historia de los mongoles para leerla en el sillón como lectura amena. Es otra historia. Para eso hay otras monografías.

Very useful. Translates sources otherwise not readily available in English, particularly Kirakos of Ganjak.
