English online version I have never seen.
If you can read in Mongolian language, most mongolian websites/ forums contain free online versions.
If you can read russian and french language, you can find it here.

Try interlibrary loan through a university (if you are a student) or the public library.

Wikipedia: The Secret History of the Mongols is the first literary work of Mongolian culture. It is written for the royal Mongol family some time after Genghis Khan's death in 1227 AD, by an anonymous author, originally in the Uyghur script, though the surviving manuscripts all derive from a Chinese transliteration and translation of the 14th century, significantly after the death of Genghis Khan on his conquests and perceptions viewed by the Mongols. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Secret_History_of_the_Mongols That'll give you a start Top Gun |

Thanks for the link, I've red the first chapters of the French translation. It is striking how much it looks like other "primitive" litterature such as some chapters of the Iliade, some parts of the Genesis, the Veda and the Icelandic sagas (and the Brazilian soap opera
 ).
