Crusade and Jihad: The Thousand-Year War Between the Muslim World and the Global North by William R. Polk
3.0
I was lucky enough to get a free copy via Netgalley for a true and honest opinion.
This was a interesting read and perfect for those historian buffs! It is a quite a heavy read and it took me ages to finally finish it.
This book starts from pre-Islaic period, then to start of Islam, focusing on Muhammad (PBUH) and all the way to our present time. As you can tell, that is A LOT of history to get through, considering how many countries, events, people the author has to go through.
I don't think this book is good for beginners but probably someone who has a sound understanding, as it does get a bit confusing.
Overall, it was good and I would recommend it.
