In the Shadow of the Sword: The Battle for Global Empire and the End of the Ancient World - Tom Holland
Shared by:micksuits
The acclaimed author of Rubicon and other superb works of popular history now produces a thrillingly panoramic (and incredibly timely) account of the rise of Islam.
No less significant than the collapse of the Roman Republic or the Persian invasion of Greece, the evolution of the Arab empire is one of the supreme narratives of ancient history, a story dazzlingly rich in drama, character, and achievement. Just like the Romans, the Arabs came from nowhere to carve out a stupefyingly vast dominion—except that they achieved their conquests not over the course of centuries as the Romans did but in a matter of decades. Just like the Greeks during the Persian wars, they overcame seemingly insuperable odds to emerge triumphant against the greatest empire of the day—not by standing on the defensive, however, but by hurling themselves against all who lay in their path.

Popular; yet not a reliable historian in any sense of the word!

yet not a reliable historian.
Why because he gave your hyper sensitive worldview a boo boo by pointing out Islam was spread by the sword? Tom must be racist. Good thing he never drew cartoons in his book like charlie Hebdo.
Who is the judge of “reliable history”?
Professional or buff, stick at it long enough and you will conclude there is no such thing as “reliable history”.
marcodiluce where is your link to the proof that Tom Holland is not a “reliable historian”?
You just made that up on the spot.
Tom Holland is unreliable. He told marcodiluce he would meet him at 3pm and he never showed up. Totally unreliable.
There is nothing less reliable than history. Often we have 1 source who wrote about some battle or event 300 years after it happened. Too many US history channel hyperbolic historians giving the history channel what they want to hear, for you.
