Informative and easy to understand, and well-written. After reading this book, I realised that there are constantly waging war over religion. Still, in Islam, concentrated efforts are put in to reconcile both parties before the battle starts.

Excellent

Concise, Islamic history covered with precision and simplicity. Full of research, almost covered everything. Can be a great reference book for topics to research more.

Recommended, for every one who wants to know about Islam in the shortest possible time.
