ON THE TRAIL OF GENGHIS KHAN

An Epic Journey Through the Land of the Nomads
Jan 27, 2016Polansky rated this title 3.5 out of 5 stars
This is a fine book, my favorite so far this year.Cope tries to learn to look at the world as a nomad would (he quotes Genghis Khan as saying he was the leader "of all those who live in felt tents.") And he pretty much succeeds, except for the part where he has to go back to his real life. There's just enough history and sociopolitical analysis for a travel book. For more, you can always read other books. (Jack Weatherford and Colin Thubron would be a couple authors.) A good read.
