  “I'm hooked! I read this on the way to and from work, in the bathroom, during lunch break, in bed till I fall asleep... basically every free minute I get!
  Never thought I'd appreciate an unbiased point of view... heck, never thought I'd ever find an unbiased point of view on this topic!”

  “A good read in that I found in engaging and enlightening at the same time. By presenting a long history of religious conflict while attempting to show more than one perspective, Armstrong helped me to look at events over the millennium in a new light. Whether or not she is successful in providing a balanced comparison is up for grabs, but her attempt to do so did succeed in making me examine Christian and Muslim views on these events much more closely.”

  “This is a must-read for anyone who cares about current-day conflicts between Islamism and the West. Karen Armstrong is a fair and intelligent historian and an excellent writer.”
