Bones
of the Master : A Journey to Secret Mongolia
by George Crane
In the steady hands of poet George Crane, previously unknown Zen master
Tsung Tsai comes off as truly extraordinary. A "poet, philosopher, house
builder, scientist, doctor, and when necessary, kung fu ass-kicker," Tsung
Tsai would still be wandering about anonymously if it were not, Crane says,
for the need of financing provided by an advance on this book. The last
of the monks from his Chinese monastery, Tsung Tsai felt he had to return
one last time to find and honor his master's bones and rekindle his tradition.
Crane recounts their joint adventure, opening with Tsung Tsai's harrowing
decades-earlier escape from newly communist China, walking from Inner Mongolia
to Hong Kong through a war-torn, famine-struck, psychotic land, nearly
starving along the way. Crane, a self-styled hedonist ne'er-do-well, who
says that meditation makes him nauseous, sets the stage for an entrancing
buddy story back to China with this highly disciplined but carefree Zen
master. As their mutual affection grows, Crane absorbs Tsung Tsai's spare
but demanding philosophy, which sustains them through the base poverty
of northern China, a life-threatening 18-hour climb up and down a treacherous
mountain, and a confrontation with a master of black magic. A page-turner
and an eye-opener, Bones of the Master is worth every penny of that advance.

Genghis
Khan
by R. P. Lister
This book is an astonishingly well-written account of the early life
and rise to power of Genghis Khan, perhaps the most fearsome warrior of
all time.
Genghis
Khan: His Life and Legacy
by Paul Ratchnevsky
Book Description Paul Ratchnevsky, one of the foremost historians
of the Mongol period, draws upon Mongol, Chinese, Persian and European
sources to provide a penetrating, balanced and highly readable account
of the life of one of the greatest conquerors in world history. He begins
with Genghis Khan's youth in the harsh environment of the twelfth-century
steppe, and describes his rise to power as a young nomad warrior. The author
shows how, although Genghis was at times as merciless as his reputation
suggests, he could also be magnanimous and just. He promoted his followers
on merit alone and was even-handed in his distribution of favors. The author
considers Mongol administration, military organization, legislation and
religious policy. The book ends with an assessment of the legacy and achievements
of this extraordinary historical figure, who turned a small, poor and backward
nation into the conqueror of the most powerful and civilized states in
Asia.
