Listening "Genghis Khan and the making of modern world" by Jack Weatherford, narrated by Jonathan Davis. It's been a fascinating read describing the making of Mongolian rule and it's influence on rest of the world. I was really mesmerised by the life of Genghis Khan. His innovative tactics on battlefield such as using propaganda, gossips, rumours to create fear in the enemy, use of attacked states population as shield and also as means of further causing strain on resources was really amazing. Sadly I don't much about Chinese and Mongolian history to appreciate all the details but this book is definitely a start in that area.
