In the first comprehensive history of the Horde, Marie Favereau shows that the accomplishments of the Mongols extended far beyond war.

Favereau takes us inside one of the most powerful sources of cross-border integration in world history. The Horde was the central node in the Eurasian commercial boom of the 13th and 14th centuries and was a conduit for exchanges across thousands of miles. Its unique political regime - a complex power-sharing arrangement among the khan and the nobility - rewarded skillful administrators and diplomats and fostered an economic order that was mobile, organized, and innovative. From its capital at Sarai on the lower Volga River, the Horde provided a governance model for Russia, influenced social practice and state structure across Islamic cultures, disseminated sophisticated theories about the natural world, and introduced novel ideas of religious tolerance.

The Horde is the eloquent, ambitious, and definitive portrait of an empire little understood and too readily dismissed. Challenging conceptions of nomads as peripheral to history, Favereau makes clear that we live in a world inherited from the Mongol moment.

I will buy the book in paper/kindle form, as it looks interesting. The narrator is so bad thought that I can't listen to it. It was wasted credit.

She sounds like the tiktok computer voice, improved by 0.4 percent or like Terry Gross after lobotomy .I found myself totally ignoring it, without focusing all my energy to actually listen to it and than I just really didn't like it. It's boring and annoying, sorry.

If you like podcasts like Dan Carlins ( who has btw great shows about Mongols) or other guys into history, you will be disappointed.

Horrible narrator

Author clearly has a solid grasp of the subject, & writes very well. Always interesting. Other reviewers have disliked the narration but I really enjoyed it! A voice that communicates the text very well.

An excellent detailed history.

The book seems good, the topic and the input is catchy and scarce in the west, however, the narrator is so annoying with a boring voice and dull unclear accent, sounds like the female version of Mr. Buzzkillington from Family Guy!

Narrator ruined the book

This boring type of historical book that just keeps going with endless stream of facts without clear story line indicating what was the key, how to interpret the events etc. Maybe useful for a historian, but not as a general read for someone who is just interested in history and tries to learn a bit more.
