Book Reviews of The Mongols (Men-At-Arms Series, 105)
Book Review: A Hurricane on Horseback
Summary: 5 Stars
Stephen Turnbull has written a number of very good Osprey titles. This was one of the most enjoyable. "The Mongols" presents a concise look at the Mongol war machine. McBribe's color plates are well done and enhance the quality of the book. While certainly not an in-depth look at the Mongols, this title does an excellent general overview of Mongol tactics and siege warfare. The devastating campaign against Eastern Europe is spotlighted as an example of just how successful and ruthless the Mongols were in battle. Far from being a rabble of lawless tribesmen, the Mongol army was a well-led and discliplined killing machine that decimated foes ranging from the powerful armies of China to the wealthy city of Baghdad. Even the Japanese fought Mongol-led invasion forces. The book also describes how the Mongols utterly defeated a European army including the famous Teutonic Knights on the plains of Poland. Overall, one of the best Men-at-Arms series I've seen and I would recommend it to anyone wanting a general overview of the war machine that dominated Thirteenth century Eurasia.
