In the 6th century AD, the Near East was divided between two venerable empires: the Persian and the Roman. A hundred years on and one had vanished forever, while the other seemed almost finished. Ruling in their place were the Arabs: an upheaval so profound that it spelt, in effect, the end of the ancient world. In The Shadow of the Sword, Tom Holland explores how this came about. Spanning from Constantinople to the Arabian dessert, and starring some of the most remarkable rulers who ever lived, he tells a story vivid with drama, horror, and startling achievement.

The problem of this Book,Glen Warren Bowersock is a historian of ancient Greece, Rome and the Near East, and former Chairman of Harvard’s classics department.
has criticised Holland for his lack of linguistic proficiency in any of the oriental tongues, which Bowersock said led to Holland making linguistic errors and being completely dependent on translations and secondary sources. Bowersock also said that Holland was ignorant of decades of research on pre-Islamic Arabia, and that he failed to account for the recent discoveries of late-antique South Arabian inscriptions as well as early Qur’an manuscripts.
Ziauddin Sardar, writing for the New Statesman, said that the book seemed to be tailored to suit the rise in Islamophobic sentiments around the globe, and presented a grand narrative based on works of a “largely discredited group of orientalists”, whose ample criticisms Holland seemed to be ignorant about.[5] He finished his critique with “I find Holland’s total dismissal of Muslim scholarship arrogant (which I know he is not), insulting (which I know he does not mean to be) and based on spurious scholarship (though his scholarship is usually sound).
enjoyable but Biased.so the informations shouldn’t be taken for granted since Tom Holland is not specialist in this department of studies. also he seem to model all of his Classical studiea in a the delusional view of west And East something people of the classical world never adhered to. From reading the title so his books it easy to see how apologetic he is when it comes to Christianity

Great book, gbhernan, mucho convenient to have it in chapterised form also.
A lot of negativity thrown at the author, who, again, is not a Christian, but who narrates factual events whereby almost three quarters of Christendom was brutally put to the sword - also Jewish, Persian & other peoples. This recounting will inevitably anger some who have a different agenda.
