Storm from the East (1993)
The Mongol Empire
27 November 2011 - 3 out of 3 users found this review helpful.
If you are a student of history and you know little of the Mongolian empire, then you are missing the key to many puzzles that are revealed in this jaw dropping documentary. So much will make sense after a viewing of one of the most expensive documentaries ever made. For the world traveler it is a must see.
The Mongols ruled over the largest contiguous land empire the world has ever seen. Their ruthlessness was legend. They recognized the value of knowledge and used it against their enemies. They were tolerant of other religions, but gave no quarter to those who did not yield to their power and authority. At the height of their military prowess there was nothing that stood between them and the Atlantic ocean.
