I assume you're referring to Ghengis Khan and the Making of the Modern World by Jack Weatherford. He was my adviser in College and discussed this book at length in his classes. Basically, he never intended to write a book about the weighty history of the Mongols. However, as he researched more and more about modern day Mongolia, he was heavily encouraged by his translators and other friends to write about Ghengis Khan. For example, they would repeatedly guide him to stories of Ghengis Khan and ask him what else he needed to know to write the history of this man and his empire (even though Weatherford had no intention of writing about Khan). This book was intended, in part, as a gift to Weatherford's friends, and to the Mongolian people as a whole. This is the first book about Ghengis Khan to be published in Mongolian before it was published in English.
So, in answer to your question:
The author intended to provide a document for modern day Mongolians about which they could feel pride and connection to their great history. He also intended to honor and thank his Mongolian friends by writing what they (not he) wanted written.

Do the elves in Lord of the Rings have body hair?
Unlike modern fantasy authors, Tolkien did not describe this sort of thing. The elves "prized beautiful hair," but I believe that only refers to one kind. I think the reigning belief in the Tolkien fan community seems to be that the males, anyway, did not have hair on their chests.
