Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
The Mongol warriors are one of the great sucess stories of world military history. Under the leadership of Genghis Khan and his successors the Mongols conquered much of the known world, fighting in territory ranging from the frozen steppes, the wilderness of Palestine, the jungles of Java and the great rivers of China. Through all this they showed a remarkable ability to adopt, adapt and improve a vast range of military techniques and technology, from siege weapons to naval warfare. This book tells the story of this remarkable military organisation, including details of weaponry, tactics, training and beliefs.

The illustrations are the main point of these series of illustrated primer books on niche subjects. If so, the illustrations here are very disappointing, being crudely drawn, when compared to an earlier Osprey book on the Mongols by the same author but illustrated by Angus McBride. The text is merely there to support the illustrations.

This book is probably the best study out there on the life and experiences of the common Mongol warriors, and makes an extremely fascinating read. Wayne Reynolds provides eight excellent colour plates for this title that really flesh out the text, as do some photographs of modern Mongol families and their ponies, weapons, and yurts. Some of the information is slightly repetitive from the previous men-at-arms title on the Mongols, but there is enough distinct information in this book to make it worth your money.
Rated by buyers -
This is a short but excellent and very comprehensive account of the Mongol warriors who terrorized Asia and Europe in the 13th century. Turnbull analyses many topics including weapons, armour, tactics, siege warfare, the Mongol horses and above all the everyday life of those infamous warriors. I think this is the best introduction one can have on the subject and, if he is fascinated by these people and their campaigns, he should go a step further, reading James Chambers' magnificent book "The Devil's Horsemen".
