Genghis Khan and the Making of the Modern World

Jack Weatherford

Recommended by 2 people on the record.

The bar next to each date shows how long ago it was said: 7d is days, 4yr is years.

Chris Blattman loved it
The Genghis Khan book was the next one to really satisfy. The leader and his troops arrived out of the desert and devastated the civilizations that had grown up, but laid the foundations for the next ones to grow.

That little bar

It says how long ago something was said, so you can tell last month from 2014 without doing the arithmetic. Full and green is recent; it drains and cools as the date gets older, and empties completely at about 6 years.

A striped bar means the date itself is an estimate — the source did not carry an exact one. An entry with no date at all gets no bar.
