The House of War by Sir Simon Mayall
A powerful history of the most significant military clashes between Islam and Christendom over the 1,300 years of the Muslim caliphate.
Ambitious in range, pacy and highly readable, and admirably clear, it should be essential reading for diplomats, military leaders and politicians’ * General Sir Patrick Sanders, former Chief of the General Staff *
No one could be better qualified to write on this fascinating subject … Simon Mayall is a soldier-scholar at the top of his game. * Andrew Roberts, author of 'Churchill: Walking with Destiny' *
This is a remarkable book. * The Rt Hon The Lord Soames of Fletching *
An engrossing account of over a thousand years of conflict that has shaped our world. * Dan Snow *
Rarely has a military history book been so necessary and well-timed as Simon Mayall’s erudite and entertaining The House of War. * Nicholas Hopton, former UK Ambassador to Iran, Libya, Qatar and Yemen *
