That is SUCH a good book but I find it sad that there aren't more books like it that follows up on that period or go into more details. I would love to read about the campaigns of Sobutai more, etc.
If anyone else know of similar books about the Mongols, I would love to check them out.
The Secret History is secret in the same sense that "top secret" classified documents are. Only people fairly close to the Yuan Dynasty were intended to have access to it.
A book which goes into this in detail is:

Thanks in advance!
The author has some other books but they’re mostly focused on Temujin, have you looked into those?
I have not! Thanks for the tip! Much appreciated!
At your service, sir: The Mongol Conquests: The Military Operations of Genghis Khan and Sube'etei [0]
Also, about Subotai: Genghis Khan’s Greatest General: Subotai the Valiant [1]
And, finally Timur: Tamerlane: The Earth Shaker [2], Tamerlane: Sword of Islam, Conqueror of the World [3].

Wow, thank you
This book is an amazing read!
NB: "secret history" is an infelicitous part of the title of a historical document, not clickbait
Ancient equivalent of clickbait?
