À propos de cet audio
This book reveals the parallel "other" narrative of world history to help us make sense of today's world conflicts. Ansary traces the history of the Muslim world from pre-Mohammedan days through 9/11, introducing people, events, empires, legends, and religious disputes, both in terms of what happened and how it was understood and interpreted.

The Great Game between Victorian Britain and Tsarist Russia was fought across desolate terrain from the Caucasus to China, over the lonely passes of the Parmirs and Karakorams, in the blazing Kerman and Helmund deserts, and through the caravan towns of the old Silk Road - both powers scrambling to control access to the riches of India and the East. When play first began, the frontiers of Russia and British India lay 2000 miles apart; by the end, this distance had shrunk to 20 miles at some points.

Traveling across millennia, weaving the experiences and world views of cultures both extinct and extant, The Invention of Yesterday shows that the engine of history is not so much heroic (battles won), geographic (farmers thrive), or anthropogenic (humans change the planet) as it is narrative. Many thousands of years ago, when we existed only as countless small autonomous bands of hunter-gatherers widely distributed through the wilderness, we began inventing stories - to organize for survival, to find purpose and meaning, to explain the unfathomable.

Histoire4.5 out of 5 stars 3
The barbarian nomads of the Eurasian steppes have played a decisive role in world history, but their achievements have gone largely unnoticed. These nomadic tribes have produced some of the world’s greatest conquerors: Attila the Hun, Genghis Khan and Tamerlane, among others. Their deeds still resonate today. Indeed, these nomads built long-lasting empires, facilitated the first global trade of the Silk Road and disseminated religions, technology, knowledge and goods of every description that enriched and changed the lives of so many across Europe, China and the Middle East.

Histoire4.5 out of 5 stars 15
Islam has been one of the most powerful religious, social, and political forces in history. Over the last 1,400 years, from origins in Arabia, a succession of Muslim polities, and later empires expanded to control territories and peoples that ultimately stretched from southern France to East Africa and South East Asia. Yet many of the contributions of Muslim thinkers, scientists, and theologians, not to mention rulers, statesmen, and soldiers, have been occluded. This book rescues from oblivion and neglect some of these personalities and institutions.

Histoire4.5 out of 5 stars 10
A thrilling and revelatory narrative of one of the most epic and consequential periods in 20th century history - the Arab Revolt and the secret “great game” to control the Middle East. Lawrence in Arabia definitively overturns received wisdom on how the modern Middle East was formed. Sweeping in its action, keen in its portraiture, acid in its condemnation of the destruction wrought by European colonial plots, this is a book that brilliantly captures the way in which the folly of the past creates the anguish of the present.

Fusing details long known to Muslim scholars but inaccessible to popular audiences, Mohamad Jebara brings to life the gripping personal story of Islam’s founding prophet. From his dramatic birth to nearly being abducted into slavery to escaping assassination, Muhammad emerges as an unrelenting man on a mission. Surrounding the protagonist are dynamic women who nurture Muhammad; Jewish and Christian mentors who inspire him; and the enslaved individuals he helps liberate who propel his movement.

Excellent history of the Islamic world.
Written from the Islamic perspective, yet remains objective. Just like history should be done. One of my favorite audio books to date.

A much needed introduction to Muslim Historiography
Destiny Disrupted is a refreshing, expansive counterpoint to western, orientalist historical narratives of Islam. Tamim takes the long view of the deep entanglement of religion, politics, and socioeconomics across the history of muslim nations and their relation with the rest of the world
Make no mistake: Destiny Disrupted is a popular history book, meaning it is relentlessly accessible and sweepingly broad, but lacking in specifics. And mile wide and an meter deep, as the saying goes. It succeeds as a great, eyeopening introduction into a subject, and more importantly a Religion, that is all to often often mischaracterized in modern public discourse. That said, this book is by no means that only one you should read about Islamic geopolitics. The author says so himself in the book’s opening.
Tamim’s voice permeates every facet of this book. That he narrates it himself only augments the fact that this is very much his perspective on an incredibly dense and complicated topic. This allows his own insights to come through more strongly. He makes no pretension at objectivity, because that is not is goal. Tamim is laser focused on teaching those more familiar with a Eurocentric view of history a new way of understanding the world. And in that pursuit, he succeeds with leaps and bounds.
For those interested in diving deeper into the subject, I would recommend Al-Jabarti’s Napoleon in Egypt. If you are interested in digging further into the frictions Tamim emphasizes, I would advise looking into Edward Said’s Orientalism.
