audiobook Chelmno and the Holocaust: A History of Hitler's First Death Camp (International Library of Twentieth Century History) by Patrick Montague in History

Description

Honored by Muslims as the epitome of the just ruler; 'Umar; or Omar--the second caliph--is one of the greatest figures in early Islamic history. His rule (634-44 CE) laid the foundations of an empire that has since defined; both culturally and geographically; the heartlands of the Islamic world. Shibli Numani's classic account links the military conquests of the period with 'Umar's reforms in law; government and public administration. He describes the personal strengths; skills; and character of the caliph and evaluates 'Umar's contribution to the ethos of Islam.
