Summary
New Edition with Maps! In the East an Empire rose from the ashes in the 13th
Century CE, a ruler named Genghis Khan swept across the Silk
Road; bringing an end to many Kingdoms and Empires in the
dominion of Islam. As the Mongol Empire pushed onwards, the
Muslim World faced the greatest massacres and atrocities in its
history. Millions perished and the horde soon would march
towards the House of Wisdom. Meanwhile the Crusaders wage new
wars, from a Reconquista in Spain to the Crusades in the lands
of Egypt and Syria. This is one of the greatest stories in Islamic history where
the flame of Islam was almost extinguished and like a white
thread at dawn a great leader arose in defiance and the very
light of Islam touched the hearts of even the enemy itself. **
