“[P]rovides an analysis ofthe role of war in Islam that is accessible to the average educated reader and in general makes for exciting reading even for someone who is not a military history buff.”–Providence: Studies in Western Civilization

Book Description
The word Islam means "Peace," but for nearly 1,400 years its adherents have waged war--frequently on the grandest and most successful scales in history. This book introduces some of Islam's greatest military figures and analyzes significant events that are shaping the modern world. Nafziger and Walton detail the rich and diverse military histories of dozens of empires, nations, tribes, clans, and peoples.
