I am interested in finding a book on the history of the Mongol
Warriors from the time of Genghis Kahn to Kuble Kahn. Does anyone
have any suggestions?

Sure. (1) a^2 public library. (2) the UM library. You might
also check out the local used book sellers, & borders.

If you can log onto Merit and get "Which Host" enter mirlyn to get the U-M
library network. You should find a vast assortment of titles. Then you
can try to Interlibrary Loan the title from any library that is convenient
to you.

I hope juvenile literature will suffice :)

I'd be a little curious about how you present an idea like that in
juvenile literature, but probably would look elsewhere for real history. :-)
I know somebody who once saw a T-shirt with printing on the back to the effect
of "Mongol World Tour"; the text was probably something along the lines of:
Persia 1221
Georgia 1222
Russia 1238
Bulgaria 1240
Poland 1241
Hungary 1242
Asia Minor 1243
Western Europe TBA

Why the trashing of the juvenile leterature? The stuff I've read
has been more straight-forward and concise than most anything else.
It's usually a good place to start, for people of any age.

It depends on *how* juvenile the stuff really is. If it's intended
for an intelligent high-school audience, it may be excellent -- just
written with shorter sentences & more restrained vocabulary than
otherwise. If it's intended for the typical second-grader (which
may be the kind of stuff that leaps to some people's minds when they
hear "juvenile literature") then it might be fascinating but wouldn't
help much, probably wouldn't even have a bibliography.
