The Devil's Horsemen
New York: Atheneum, 1985. hardcover. 8vo. 190pp. from Preface: "Several books have been written in English about the Mongol conquests, the subsequent empries which the Mongols ruled, the travellers who visited them and even the diplomatic relations between their khans and the papacy. But nothing has been written about the Mongol invasion of Europe. In this book I have rashly endeavoured to fill that gap. But I did not set out to write a detailed account of every event that took place in Europe during the invasion. I have simply attempted to tell the story of an extraordinary campaign, outlines its causes and far-reaching consequences and place it in its historical perspective." Book VG: mild shelf wear/soil to boards and spine, faint offset/foxing to endpapers, text clean, binding tight. Item #3972
