One of the guys behind The Dangerous Book for Boys has written a historical fiction novel, Genghis: Bones of the Hills. Some bloggers are asking what genre this should be in? Macho lit? Warrior lit?

I think the term “lit” is part of the problem. It works with Chick lit, because of the assonance, but it doesn’t have to be part of a genre label for action-oriented, historical (and maybe non-historical) fiction involving mostly fathers and sons.
