Harold Lamb's Non-Fiction Work

"One day in the pavilion at Karakorum [Genghis Khan] asked an officer of the Mongol guard what, in all the world, could bring the greatest happiness.
"'The open steppe, on a clear day, and a swift horse under you,' responded the officer after a little thought, 'and a falcon on your wrist to start up hares.'
"'Nay,' responded the Khan, "to crush your enemies, to see them fall at your feet — to take their horses and goods and hear the lamentation of their women. That is the best.'"
— Harold Lamb, Genghis Khan: The Emperor of All Men, 1927
