Weatherford, who has worked for years with Shagdaryn Bira, secretary general of the International Association for Mongol Studies and Mongol authority menrtioned in the article. provides the full back-story on the great Khan, which is very different from the negative caricatures with which everyone is familiar. Highly recommended for anyone with an interest in Mongolia, the Khan or the (generally positive, according to Weatherford) impact of the Mongol invasions on the development of the modern world.
