I always pondered over why has the prayer been made compulsory and if it has been why it does not help muslims. This book is a great insight into the Islamic concept of Worship. loving it so far

On preface, reading this after being inspired by his other books. I think May 2021 is going to be Moududi Month for me.

So far so good.

The best thing about the book is it's originality and the way it looks at different events in history. The book is best explanation of American foreign policy that I have read so far.

This book is the realisation of how little did I know about the US foreign policy. Must read for every student of IR.

So far, the book feels like a chronological encyclopedia with repeated paragraphs and less like a book based on analysis and history

The book was exhausting. The discussion paragraphs are often repetitive which seem to be unfair to the reader who intends to read the whole book. However, for someone who is to read the selected chapters only, the repetition seems to be important. The book was basic and introductory and I should have read it before.

The book was good. At first I thought it was filled with too many details of technology but in later chapters I realized how important those were to grasp the understanding of current armament regimes.

The articles in this book are exactly what a beginner of Arms control and Disarmament studies should read. This fills in the gaps that are left by generic readings of the history. The best thing is that they are arranged chronically, which is a great help.

But, the book would do great help if added some diagrams , for the better understandings of technical aspects.

The chapter 'Today's Nuclear World' is very good, but the book is very repetitive in terms of ideas.

I wish I had read this book earlier. The book provides very good detail of evolution of nuclear weapons. Very interesting so far.

The chapters on Middle east and political Islam seem to be based on Huntington's thesis. The book seems to be biased and leaves out the negative aspects and disastrous results of American policies. Reading ahead only because I started it. The book is boring and one can not simply take interest in it because it misses the actual grasp of reality.

So far, it seems mostly repetition of first chapters of Diplomacy.

Thought it was due to borders only...But omg, there was so much going on in there....This book is a bridge to a lot of things between 1960s to present.

Like always, reading history from other side of the border is eye opening. Divide and Rule chapter which tells tale of the partition is no exception.

I hope the book is as magnificent as it's preface is.
[Update]This book is captivating enough to get you stick to it despite the fact that it's same old history difference being its not just nagging, since its fact and figures

I hope the book is as magnificent as it's preface is.

Trying to see indian version of partition from a muslim, and I think this book serves good in the purpose.

the best part of the book(infact, of all the books I have read) so far is its section titled "Angel in Disguise: Building the Hospital" where one gets to see the finest humanitarian and inspiring story of Imran khan. I hope people learn as much as it is expected or planned.
