'A great read . . . An excellent brief history of the driving force
that made Islamic civilisation the greatest of its time and then
the factors behind its decline.'--Imran Khan, former Prime Minister
of Pakistan
'Presenting 1,400 years of Islamic civilisation in a comprehensive,
easy to follow manner is no small feat . . . the book is valuable

history, but also a general introduction to the subject.'
