The Near End of Islam: Story of the Mongol Invasion and Muslim Genocide in the 13th Century By Ibn Iftikhar
New Edition with Maps!
In the East an Empire rose from the ashes in the 13th Century CE, a ruler named Genghis Khan swept across the Silk Road; bringing an end to many Kingdoms and Empires in the dominion of Islam. As the Mongol Empire pushed onwards, the Muslim World faced the greatest massacres and atrocities in its history. Millions perished and the horde soon would march towards the House of Wisdom. Meanwhile the Crusaders wage new wars, from a Reconquista in Spain to the Crusades in the lands of Egypt and Syria.
This is one of the greatest stories in Islamic history where the flame of Islam was almost extinguished and like a white thread at dawn a great leader arose in defiance and the very light of Islam touched the hearts of even the enemy itself.

I started to read this book because it is about a part of history which I am not that familiar with but I and interested in. Unfortunately, although the subject is interesting, the book itself was confusing, there were no maps or charts so I had trouble following the story. I feel I know more than I did before about that time period, but still feel I am missing things. I am not sure I can recommend this book fully, but I also wouldn't tell someone not to read it either if they asked.
