Yes, it's a very short book. I listed good digestable books rather than more academic history, though I have a Master's in American history and can give you some of that too if you like. These are all very good easy reads and a great way to get into the field in a meaningful way.

The Mongols are definitely worth reading about. They're something of a unique story in world history. No other empire was quite like theirs.
