       | NB: "secret history" is an infelicitous part of the title of a
       | historical document, not clickbait

           | The Secret History is secret in the same sense that "top
           | secret" classified documents are. Only people fairly close to

         | That is SUCH a good book but I find it sad that there aren't
         | more books like it that follows up on that period or go into
         | more details. I would love to read about the campaigns of
         | Sobutai more, etc.
         | 
         | If anyone else know of similar books about the Mongols, I would
         | love to check them out.

         | Thanks in advance!

           | Temujin, have you looked into those?
