Well done elementary-level reader. (S). A ton of information for a 100 page book.

Very interesting, informative kid-friendly telling of Genghis Khan’s mysterious origins.

Interesting!

Singkat, padat, dan jelas. Wah I need more book about mongol nation. Apalagi Mongolia terkenal dengan perangnya tanda kutip, kejam. Jadi penasaran kalau dari sudut pandang Khwarizm empire ceritanya bagaimana ya.

Dan buku ini emang pasarnya anak-anak, jadi ya lumayan buat isi neuron saat luang

The Mongol army was nothing without their horses. They traveled entirely on horseback, swiftly and efficiently. Extra horses were brought to be milked, eaten, or ridden when other horses grew tired. If the men ran out of water, they drank horses’ blood.

الحصان: ارحموا أمي.

Favorite bit: when the author says, in essence, "Sure, he and his army killed millions of people, but look at these cool things that he did!" (he seems to have been more willing to share the wealth with his followers than some other raiding marauders have been; I can't remember the other things he did that jibe well with modern sensitivities.)

I just thought presenting the murder, rape and pillage of millions of people as "just a detail" was. . . hm.

Can we apply that same generosity of spirit to our founding fathers, some of whom owned slaves, but also gave the world the Declaration of Independence, the US Constitution and the Bill of Rights, the first functional republic in modern history and paving the way for unprecedented prosperity and liberty?
