From Genghis Khan to Tamerlane: The Reawakening of Mongol Asia
The Mongol empire outlasted its conquests by centuries, and this covers what came after Genghis.
Peter Jackson follows Mongol Asia from the successor khanates through to Tamerlane, covering the conversions to Islam, the trade networks and the political forms that persisted long after the initial conquests. At its peak the empire was considerably larger than Rome’s, and this is a serious account of the period usually skipped.

Recent and noteworthy is Peter Jackson, From Genghis Khan to Tamerlane: The Reawakening of Mongol Asia. You may recall that the Mongol empire at its peak was much larger than the Roman empire at its peak.
