Destiny Disrupted

A History of the World Through Islamic Eyes

Beschreibung

The Western narrative of world history largely omits a whole civilization. Destiny Disrupted tells the history of the world from the Islamic point of view, and restores the centrality of the Muslim perspective, ignored for a thousand years.
