"Outstanding, original, and revolutionary. Favereau subjects the Mongols to a much-needed re-evaluation, showing how they were able not only to conquer but to control a vast empire. A remarkable book."
-Peter Frankopan, author of The Silk Roads
"The Mongols have been ill-served by history, the victims of an unfortunate mixture of prejudice and perplexity The Horde flourished, in Favereau's fresh, persuasive telling, precisely because it was not the one-trick homicidal rabble of legend."
-Wall Street Journal
"Fascinating The Mongols were a sophisticated people with an impressive talent for government and a sensitive relationship with the natural world An impressively researched and intelligently reasoned book."
-Gerard DeGroot,
