I love how it shows real people w their ups and downs making a significant impact on a great civilization. This is a lot more effective that idealizing all the characters.0 of 1 people found the following review helpful. me) then the book is good for insightsBy LivingWithRoommatesThe pages are very thick with quality pictures. My only problem with the book is it was too short. Also; I don't think it needed to be in hardcover; this only boosted the price. If you know nothing of Islam this book will be too much; if you have already studied Islam a bit (i.e. me) then the book is good for insights. Some of the people he writes about are a bit much.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Easy to read and can provide motives for deaper research ...By Saleh S JalladAn important book for peoplewho are interested in the the development of major political and cultural mosaic of early Islamdom.Easy to read and can provide motives for deaper research regarding various topic depending on the perceived interest. Very amiable and attractive style that enhances the readers' attention. The author seems to have an interesting but positive criteria for choosing the thirty lives. I was impressed by his choice of Ibn al Muqaffa'; and rightly so as a prime mover during that era; as Ihave published in English and other languages all of his works.Istrongly recommend this book.Dr. Saleh S Jallad
