"Gabriel's book, the first biography of the great Mongol general,
Subotai, is delightfully well-written, comprehensive, and full of
information equally interesting to the general reader, the
historian, and the military professional. The book fills a large
gap in the field of military biography, and the section on the
Mongol legacy of war will be of particular value to military
officers."-Reuven Gal, Director, Carmel Institute for Social
Studies and author of The Israeli Soldier
