By Tamim Ansary, Public Affairs, Paperback, 216 pages

The Western narrative of world history largely omits a whole civilization. This book 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.

Tamim Ansary tells the rich story of world history as it looks from a new perspective: with the evolution of the Muslim community at the centre. His story moves from the lifetime of Mohammed through a succession of far-flung empires, to the tangle of modern conflicts that culminated in the events of 9/11. He introduces the key people, events, ideas, legends, religious disputes, and turning points of world history, imparting not only what happened but how it is understood from the Muslim perspective.
