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.

Any books you recomend on Romans? |
That's a good book. I've read 3 or 4 of Bernard Lewis' books.
Tom Holland's "Rubicon" is an excellent account of the fall of the Republic.
Hildinger's "Swords against the Senate" is about an earlier Roman civil war and the general development of internal political violence in Republican Rome.
"Hannibal Crosses the Alps" is a good book on Hannibal's occupation of Italy.
