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?

Wrath of the Khans III
The expansion of Genghis Khan’s conquests continue, with locations as far apart as Europe and China feeling the bloody effects of Mongol warfare and retribution. Can anything halt the carnage?

Wrath of the Khans IV
The death of Genghis Khan, the founder of the Mongol Empire, should have slowed the momentum of Mongol conquests, but instead it accelerated it. This time though, all of Europe is on the Mongol hit list.

Wrath of the Khans V
Succession issues weaken the Mongol Empire as the grandchildren of Genghis Khan fight over their imperial inheritance. This doesn’t stop them from dealing out pain, suffering, and ironically good governance while doing so.

What Jeffery said. Listened to this for free when it first came out and now ready to purchase it to re-experience the greatness. Will forever remember my walks in the woods where i had listened to these many hours of riveting, brutal histories. Gotta get that extra episode too of course.

This series is incredible. I am on Part V. My husband and I are absolutely riveted!! You make us want to get in the car and just keep driving!!! Enjoying Celtic Holocaust as well. Can’t wait to dive/drive(?) into Death Throes of the Republic. The bibliographies are much appreciated. I appreciate all your efforts in producing such a wonderful podcast, Dan!

Amazing, just paid 9.99 to listen to it for a second time. I find it funny that the episodes have an ad asking to pay a dollar when I just paid 2 per episode, totally worth it either way.

Absolutely fantastic. Dan Carlin is a master story teller. Had a great time listening to the Wrath of the Khans series.

I first listened to this series in 2016…….for free.
I remembered it so favourably that when i recently recommended it to someone i decided to purchase it and listen again.
Dan’s ability to make history personal, to put it in perspective and strip the analgesic effects of time from these horrific events, is nothing short of admirable.
I hope Dan continues to find the enthusiasm to make these excellent and informative podcasts.

Mr. Carlin, I thoroughly enjoy your ability to tell a story. Your narration is flawless, and your capacity to relate times of the past to contemporary listeners is unmatched. I find myself feeling terribly for the people that have gone through these unimaginable horrors. You have a talent for humanizing these statistics that have replaced human beings. Before listening to your “Wrath of the Khans” I knew little about the Mongols. After listening to your masterful works, I find myself wanting to learn more. From one history buff to another, thank you, and keep up the good work, sir.

I’ve listened to many hours of Dan’s podcasts, and this one is as exceptional as the other ones I’ve listened to. One of the takeaways from this series that I truly appreciate is the examination and speculation of the effects of the Mongol invasions on the rise of Europe, and the setback of the Islamic states during that time. Those are angles I had never considered, and when you hear the detail of destruction and ruthlessness the Mongols exerted, it really makes your mind wonder how much of an effect it had, and what could have been different if certain events didn’t happen the way they did.

Great show. Loved every minute. What’s so compelling is the Wanderers vs Settlers theme. Ongoing biblical conflict that’s been there since the dawn of men. It’s incredible how witty the Mongols were. I extracted so much out of these hours. People fixate on their war-related advantages, but even in terms of human mgmt., they were so much ahead of their time.
For us, living in the middle east, there are still so many wandering tribes that possess nomad cultural traits and you always feel like a collision is just a matter of time.
