“Subotai the Valiant”, informs the reader of the story of Subotai the Valiant, one of the greatest generals in military history and surely the equal of Hannibal and that of Scipio in tactical brilliance and ranking right along with both Alexander and Caesar as a strategist…
Subotai commanded armies whose size, scale and scope of operations surpassed all commanders of the ancient world…. Under his direction and command the Mongol armies moved faster, over greater distances, and with a greater scope of maneuver than any army had ever done before in recorded history….
Subotai died at age 73, by which time he had conquered 32 nations and won 65 pitched major battles, as the Muslim historians tell us in their writings…..
The author writes well and gives detailed information and references of Subotai and the Mongol army…. This should be a must read for any individual interested in Genghis Khan and his rise to power….
