The Secret History of the Mongols is a literary book written by an anonymous author right after the death of Genghis Khan on his conquests and perceptions viewed by the Mongols. The book's origin is Mongolian and as like much of the texts during the period, it is somewhat folkic, poetic and not really as factual as some historians would really wanted.

The book is currently regarded as the single significant account of Genghis Khan in Mongolia, because it was the Mongols' account of Genghis Khan.
