Reviews for Russia and the Golden Horde
21 ratings1 review
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5An easy read for a period of history with lots of names, dates, and battles, yet almost exceedingly so. The work is very short despite covering several centuries of history, and at times glosses over important concepts. A good intro for someone with no background on the Golden Horde's influence on medieval Russia, yet limited in further extended discussion.
