Description: "The Mongol Storm is an epic account of violent conflict unfolding against the vibrant backdrop of the Seljuk Turks' magnificent garden palaces, mighty Crusader fortresses, Egyptian pyramids, Damascus' sprawling markets, and the vast Mongol wagon cities. Vividly written and vast in scope, it completely revises our understanding of the Mongols and the world of the Middle Ages"--
Review Quotes: "When Mongol armies arrived in the Near East in the later Middle Ages, they transformed the region utterly and irreversibly. Nicholas Morton's new history of their extraordinary deeds and conquests is deeply researched and elegantly written--essential reading for anyone interested in the descendants of Genghis Khan in the age of the Crusades."--Dan Jones, New York Times-bestselling author of The Templars
