Genghis Khan (A Wicked History) Paperback – March 1, 2008

I have read many of the Evil History books and appreciate all of them. While not exhaustive scholarly, they all seem well researched, separating known and established facts from traditions and legends. Ghenghis was a bloody, cruel, murderous leader of a Mongol tribe. The authors don’t try to justify the Khan’s barbarity, but go into enough detail for the reader to understand his background. He grew up in a very tough, nasty “neighborhood.”

My son struggles with reading, but really enjoyed this book and it was a perfect reading level for him. He is in 7th grade. Held his interest very well.

After watching Mongol my son had more questions on who this Genghis Khan person was. I was thrilled when I found this book, and the others in the series. He loved it!! He loves history anyway, but he enjoyed this book and learned a lot. Also got him the Ivan the Terrible book and he showed empthay towards ole Ivan and blamed his terrible-ness on his terrible childhood! If you have a young one in your life that loves history - especially the gorier parts - check out this series.

Tells the story of Genghis in small, quick format.

It was a very good book i learned so much and it was also very short and once again it was good

I had no idea it was a children's book. I donated it to the local library.

Fantastic!

My son watches the NIght at the Museum movies and loves them. Its easy to find young reader books on Roosevelt and Sacagawea, but try finding bios of the bad guys OK for kids. Thanks for the series, he loves them.
