"Raymond Ibrahim's Sword and Scimitar is a riveting military
history of eight pivotal battles between the armies of Islamdom and
Christendom. Ibrahim tells his story with extensive citations of
primary sources which vividly bring to life the bloody fighting.
Moreover, his method reveals the religious, political, and material
motivations of the leading Christian and Muslim actors in this
enduring conflict of visions that seem so very different from many
modern western secular sensibilities."--James E. Lindsay, Professor
of Middle East History, Colorado State University
"A riveting account of the major battles between Islam and the
West."--Catholic World Report
"An accessible and well-researched examination of extremely
important but often neglected cultural phenomena and historical
events that have impacted several civilizations up to the present
day."--Dar�o Fern�ndez-Morera, Northwestern University, author of
The Myth of the Andalusian Paradise: Muslims, Christians, and Jews
under Islamic Rule in Medieval Spain
"Enlightening for readers unfamiliar with the long history of war
between these two faiths."--New York Journal of Books
"Ibrahim tells this history vividly, clearly, and
engagingly."--American Thinker
"Impressively informative, Sword and Scimitar is an exceptional
work of outstanding scholarship that is so well written it reads
more like a deftly crafted novel than a non-fiction
history."--Midwest Book Review
"Raymond Ibrahim has the humility to take seriously the voices and
opinions of history's Christians and Muslims; the result is a
refreshingly honest account of Islamic expansion and Christian
reaction that provides useful insights into today's problems. This
is history as it should be done: allowing the past to inform and
guide the present, rather than distorting the past to fit
contemporary political ideologies."--Paul F. Crawford, Crusades
historian, California University of Pennsylvania
"With passion, Raymond Ibrahim offers an edgy and eye-opening
introduction to a millennium of warfare between the Muslim and
Christian worlds before the modern age."--Thomas Madden,
award-winning author of Istanbul, Venice, and Concise History of
the Crusades
