Continuing with the theme of biographies and literary biographies of megalomaniac monarchs and leaders of nations, here is the fourth and final book: The Bloody White Baron, by James Palmer. It is suitably subtitled, “The Extraordinary Story of the Russian Nobleman Who Became the Last Khan of Mongolia”. It is indeed an extraordinary story and at times seems so fantastical that it sounds like Fiction. As I have pointed out, the historical figures who I have discussed were connected through history in what seem to me to be unusual ways.
The nobleman in question, Freiherr Roman Nikolai Maximilian von Ungern-Sternberg (there’s a mouthful!) is connected to Empress Cixi of China through a tangled web of political upheavals and wars in which he appeared in the right place and at exactly the right moment to do his thing.

Mongolia's Next Challenge
American commentators have the unfortunate tendency to view democratizing countries, even those emerging from decades of repression and dictatorship, through an idealized lens that would leave even the United States out of focus. Mongolia is a case in point.

But some perspective is necessary. Freedom House has consistently ranked Mongolia as a "free" country—the only former Communist country outside of Europe to have done so since 1991.
This performance is particularly impressive given that Mongolia is surrounded by Russia and China, and that it had no prior experience of democracy. Its economy collapsed during the transition from Communism in the early 1990s.
Yet Mongolia has developed and sustained a competitive democracy in which parties have rotated in and out of power. Today it has a robust press, an independent civil society, and a spirit of freedom among its citizens. These are not small achievements.
Major mineral discoveries over the last decade have confronted Mongolia with new challenge
