“As William Bernstein describes in ‘A Splendid Exchange’, ‘The Arabs, invigorated by their conquests, experienced a cultural renaissance that extended to many fields; the era’s greatest literature, art, mathematics, and astronomy was not found in Rome, Constantinople, or Paris, but in Damascus, Baghdad and Cordova.”
Christopher Lascelles, A Short History of the World

“it has been estimated that communism was the direct cause of over 100 million deaths in the 20th century or, to put it into perspective, more than those killed in all the wars, revolutions and conflicts in the entire century combined.”
Christopher Lascelles, A Short History of the World
