Reviews for Lost Islamic History: Reclaiming Muslim Civilisation from the Past
'Presenting 1,400 years of Islamic civilisation in a comprehensive, easy to follow manner is no small feat . . . the book is valuable not only for its insights into lesser-known aspects of Islamic history, but also a general introduction to the subject.'
