Genghis Khan and the Making of the Modern World
by Jack Weatherford
Chock-full of fascinating factoids about the origins of the Mongol empire that once stretched all across southern Eurasia, and arguably created the trade routes that created the modern world as we know it. The first three-quarters of the book are fantastic, though it trails off. The good parts are well worth it!
