Always great to read the classics.
I am currently reading "What Went Wrong: The Clash Between Islam and Modernity in the Middle East"
It basicly chronicles how Islam went from being the light of the world ( when Europe was in middle ages), to being surpassed by the barbarians in Europe.
It is a short book, will be finished today.
