Destiny Disrupted: A History of the World through Islamic Eyes by Tamim Ansary

4.0

Wow, I don't know where to begin. This book was such a whirlwind ride. But the important thing about it, I suppose, is that it seemed to accomplish its purpose: giving the reader an Islamic lens through which to consider all of history. What I enjoyed most about this book was the writing style. It was breezy and almost conversational, and thus made it much easier to get through. The author is incredibly deft at rendering such intricate threads of history in a highly accessible way. And no wonder, he has been reading history texts since he was a child. This was a book worth the time investment. I highly recommend it!
