The Muslim Conquest of Persia - Islamic Militiary History Series

The Muslim Conquest of Persia is the second volume in A.L. Akrumi's acclaimed series on the first century of Islamic expansion. This era, marked by courage and conviction, saw the collapse of ancient empires.

Experience the monumental clashes of Qadisiyyah and Nihawand, which shattered the Sasanian Empire and opened a new chapter in world history. This edition includes footnotes, anglicized terms, and corrected spelling and grammar. Original maps have been redrawn to maintain the authenticity of Akram's research, offering a powerful and accessible narrative of a civilization's last stand.

From the Author: "According to an old Chinese proverb, it is better to light one small candle than curse the darkness. This is my second candle. May it light the way for those who seek."
