"Chronicles the the trials and tribulations (and also the successes) of the first four Caliphs of Islam and their generals after the death of Prophet Muhammad. Refreshing to read as I have read books on the same subject but written by Muslim authors in my native Malay language. The difference between those books and Rogerson's is that Rogerson also mentions their human failings (for they were after all, human beings) such as Omar al-Khattab's stern views on women's liberation, Muslim generals Khalid al-Walid's and Amr al-As' somewhat unIslamic behaviour in the newly conquered territories of Iraq and Syria and the seemingly petty rivalry between the Prophet's wife Aisha and his cousin Ali, which would contribute to the Sunni-Shia schism in Islam. Nevertheless, despite these infighting and political rivalries, this period in Islamic history is regarded today as the beginning of the Golden Age of Islam which would arguably last until the middle of the 17th century.
I highly recommend this book to everyone regardless of their faith or lack thereof if nothing more than to increase their general knowledge on Islamic history."
"The early history of Islam from an outsiders view, the author is not a Muslim, he is not Arabic, he is a travel writer. But he seems to be able to boil down the history into an inspiring storey, where the caliphs and the prophet are men, not unreachable or vague, but alive on the pages."
