"Reading for a college history class and I have to say that this book has a LOT of holes! When you have to google islamic terms because the book doesn't tell you what they are, come on guy. Americans are typically stick to what they know, and I was raised christian, how would I know what a caliph is?

His writing is very dry and boring. I have more fun reading russian novels than this...."
