In the 7th and 8th centuries AD, armies inspired by the new religion of Islam burst out of Arabia to subjugate the Levant, southwest Asia, North Africa and the Iberian peninsula. These Arab conquests followed immediately after the Prophet Mohammed's death in 632. By this time, against all the odds, he had managed to unite the feuding tribes of Arabia at the point of his sword.

The Muslim conquests lasted until 750, by which time several generations of marauding Arab armies had carved out an Islamic empire (the Umayyad empire, centred on Baghdad) which, in size and population, rivalled that of Rome at its zenith, extending from the shores of the Atlantic in the west to the snow-bounds mountains of Central Asia and the borders of China in the east. In the process they had completely crushed one great empire (the old empire of Byzantium), and hollowed out another (that of the Iranian Sassanids).

The Arab Conquests represent one of the greatest feats of arms in history and utterly changed the world. Justin Marozzi, much-praised author of The Man Who Invented History and Baghdad: City of Peace, City of Blood, tells their story with unfailing narrative verve and deep scholarly authority.

Excellent authoritative narration, makes all the difference in the world for audio books.
The topic is a complicated one and it's often hard to remember all the different participants and where they fit in with each other, but this sets it out fairly clearly and I would recommend it as a sound introduction for students of the history and indeed any interested in where this all started from.

Very good introduction to this topic.

Why would you hire somebody who cannot pronounce anything in Arabic to read this book? Imagine hiring somebody who doesn’t have a clue how to pronounce French words to narrate a book about the French Revolution. This is painful to listen to.

Hire Arabic speakers

Overall pretty good, though at times the author seems to get too carried away with his snarky attitude towards islam. A lot of material is packed into this relatively short book. This leads to some details being left out, and so it does not quite show the breadth

Perhaps a bit too short, but still solid
