It's always a hard sell when I tell people about it, and I can't blame them because like you said, History books are not known for being page turners. The introduction was the most amazing part for me, blowing away the many preconceived notions we have about the Mongolian Empire and the man himself. The details that follow in the chapters ahead just make for very engaging reading.
