A great visual reference

Part of a series on world empires, the text in this book is a basic good overview of Genghis Khan and his sucessor's empire(s), with an additional section on the later Mogul Empire. What makes this book especially worthwhile to the historian and re-creationist is the extensive large format color photos of artifacts and period illustrations. There are many histories that are more accurate and in-depth, but for a visual overview of the Mongol empire, this book is the best I've seen.
