Re: Great Islamic books to read

Yeah very good book I knew the author, it's a great piece of work and as a scholarly work on both the Islamic history and the history of Islamic martial doctrine it is superb even after 30 or so years since publication it is unrivaled.

Very good book, it is definately controversial in some aspects but very good to read.

Authors please :@: Too many books with simmilar titles.
