For centuries, the Crusades have been central to the story of the medieval Near East, but these religious wars are only part of the region's complex history. As The Mongol Storm reveals, during the same era the Near East was utterly remade by another series of wars: the Mongol invasions. In a single generation, the Mongols conquered vast swaths of the Near East and upended the region's geopolitics. This is the definitive history of the Mongol assault on the Near East and its enduring global consequences.

Good intro text

This is not an academic monograph. This is an accessibly written narrative history of how the Mongols invaded, controlled, and then saw their rule disintegrate in the Near East. This is not a deep dive into the historiography or anything, nor does it intend to do that. It is designed for novices to learn about this topic in a fun and accessible way. It does exactly that and I got exactly what I was looking for

By the late 19th century, Americans rich and poor had come to expect high-quality fresh beef with almost every meal. Beef production in the United States had gone from small-scale, localized operations to a highly centralized industry spanning the country, with cattle bred on ranches in the rural West, slaughtered in Chicago, and consumed in the nation’s rapidly growing cities. Red Meat Republic tells the remarkable story of the violent conflict over who would reap the benefits of this new industry and who would bear its heavy costs.

This is a genuinely great introductory commodity history of beef which weaves together labor history, economic history, environmental history, the history of the wars against indigenous nations, and the cultural history of beef consumption.
