Description
In one of the most violent outbursts in history a little-known tribe of Eurasian nomads breaks upon the great societies of the Old World like a human tsunami. It may have ushered in the modern era, but at what cost?

Dan repeatedly impresses me with his ability to process and explain a deluge of historical knowledge in a very entertaining and captivating manner. Wrath of Khans series is another feat of podcast excellence.

I really like these podcasts about the Mongols. I have learned so much, but I can no longer access them on iTunes and I can’t buy them. What’s a fan to do?
Tim Rishel –
Excellent series. I have read most of the books on Dan’s list and others about the same subject. I have spent time in Mongolia. I know the subject well, yet still learned more and gained additional perspective.

This is the best of the best history podcast on the pod-o-sphere. There is nothing better out there. As always, Dan Carlin pulls from all the sources and gets into it in the most interesting ways. With the Mongol empire, I feel that he has one of the most interesting pieces of history to discuss. Simply amazing.

Dan knocks another one out of the park. With so much Eurocentric history we get in the West, it’s nice to learn something of the other half of the world. I came away with both a better understanding of the Mongols and a deeper understanding of how Asia and the Muslim world ended up being dominated by the West.
