Did anyone see the ghengis Khan biopic last night on the BBC? I thought it was great, up until the last ten minutes ' and then he invaded Persia and Russia, but we've not got time for that...', but my knowledge of the Mongols is limited to say the least.
There are two upshots though - firstly I'd like to know what people thought of the accuracy of this, the armies etc looked pretty good, and they only resorted to flaming arrows once, which must be a record for a TV show, and secondly what are some good books to read on Ghengis and the Mongols in general.
Cheers
