Don't believe in islamics.Some islamics wrote bad critics about this book.As ever happens, they are buffoons,liars and ridiculous.They claims that this book is against his religion.This could be right, but many other things are against islamic religion.One of then is the American Constituition, who to example, gives free religion, free speach, woman's rights,etc.All of then are, against Islam.If you don't know, 100% of the about 55 countries in the world, with Sharia's law are third world countries.
I read all this book, here in Brazil, in a translation to portuguese.It's cheap, concise and easy to read.At this side, there's problems with this book.At first it lies about Paraguay's war, claiming that Paraguay was a industrial power at that time.A ridiculous lie, first created by Eduardo Galeano, a fanatic marxist, from Uruguay.About 5 wars weren't to stay in this book, because they didn't had enough importance.The book is cheap, concise, but has some failures.

On page 33 of #26 "Conquests of Genghis Khan 1206-1227" third paragraph down it says that "He [Genghis Khan] pursued the heir of Shah Muhammad, Prince Jalal ad-Din northward into Russia, won a major battle against the Russian princes in 1223, and then returned to Mongolia," is in error. Jalal ad-Din was pursued to the Indus River where he escaped southward into India. Genghis Khan did not go into India. He did not go into Russia either but sent two of his generals, Chepe Noyon and Subotai, after the fleeing Shah Muhammad, who was slain, and afterwards these genarals entered Russia and battled the Russian princes.

Another fine book in an excellent series.

After going through the book, I simply returned it. It's not worth reading this book. THere are hundreds of other war books, and I guess that the author is just trying to make easy money and become popular by controversy. Most of the material I see is extremely short, with imcomplete and insufficient data. Upon reading this books you will like to be 1) be confused. 2) be misdirected by improper representation or facts. 3) spread false ideas and facts. I suggest journals and writer should refer to this book in English writing books as one of the books which should certainly be not followed. It should be taught that this book was written without research, probably what he hard from "someone". Don't waste your money, almost every other war book is better than this one.

I was shocked to see the picture of Prophet Muhammed in the book. This shows the kind of guesses and unreliable information that the author has relied on to write the book. I wonder from where in the world did the author cook up the picture when the fact remains that there is not a single photo or drawing of Prophet Muhammed in the world.
The author should also have taken into account the hurt it would cause to a religious group when it is forbidden to draw the picture of the Prophet.
The author and the publisher has to take steps to remove the drawing from the book.

-A concerned Reader.

This book contains a picture of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and the description given about him is not right.

This book is nothing but a provocotive mischief. It is impossible to comprehend that there will be a writer so naive and ignorant of the Muslims beleives that it is forbidden to make the picture of the Messenger Muhammad Sal'lal Lahu Alehi Wasallam. Who ever attempts this, shows nothing but his/her contempt for Islam and 1.2 Billion Muslims.

After reading this book, i was truly disgruntled of the wrong facts narrated. Especially, the chapter about the prophet mohammed, i have never seen a picture of the prophet in any of the hundred of islam books i have read. In fact, muslim teaching
reject any pictures of the prophet and consider them as hoaxes and a way of derailing believers. Also, mohammed seal, this is also another lie, since this has never been mentioned in any historical book of islam (muslim books or others).
I truly hate this book and wish that you take it off your library stock.

I loved this book because it is very thorough, consice, and gets to the important points of each specific war.

It is entirely unIslamic to give a picture of the Holy Prophet or of the seal in a book. I believe it was stupid of this person to put in things without knowing. Such a person should be condemned for publishing things without proper knowledge. It just shows how wrong people r about Muslims and how they tend to do wrong about them without even caring. Such a book should definitely not be encouraged.
