## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Concise and understandable introduction into Islamic studies.
  

*by M***A on Reviewed in the United States on September 10, 2018*

The Book is so easy to understand and provides a wonderful gateway into the importance and history of Islamic religion and society. By giving historical background, the author clarifies the reasons and meanings behind 20th and 21st century events. There are many maps, photos, and short excerpts included in the book so readers can easily understand what the author is explaining.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Short but enlightening.
  

*by F***N on Reviewed in the United States on March 6, 2011*

This book is valuable not only for a historical overview of Islamic tradition, but for the insightful last chapter on current Islam and world perception of it.  This book is respectful of the religion while being forthright about some of the less pretty parts of its history.  The style of the book is very accessible... some scholars may say it is too broad and not deep enough, but it met my needs... I may want to read a multi-volume work in Islam in the future, but not this weekend.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Insightful
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on August 10, 2017*

Silverstein's monograph is a fairly quick read, and well worth the effort. The history is rather sparse, as the title implies, but it makes a nice companion to something more detailed like Berkey's "The Formation of Islam." Well-written throughout, value comes particularly in the analysis and insight developed in the later chapters and conclusion, though some may find it "controversial."  Highly recommended.
