We in the west share a common narrative of world history. But our story largely omits a whole civilization whose citizens shared an entirely different narrative for a thousand years.In Destiny Disrupted; Tamim Ansary tells the rich story of world history as the Islamic world saw it; from the time of Mohammed to the fall of the Ottoman Empire and beyond. He clarifies why our civilizations grew up oblivious to each other; what happened when they intersected; and how the Islamic world was affected by its slow recognition that Europe-a place it long perceived as primitive and disorganized-had somehow hijacked destiny.

Bought it for Christmas present but it would be like grabbing a book from the dollar bin and wrapping it. It does has tons of history though so I'll keep it for my own collection0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Five StarsBy Tanya ReyerGift for my dad!
