Destiny Disrupted
A History of the World Through Islamic Eyes
Book • 2010
In 'Destiny Disrupted', Tamim Ansary tells the rich story of world history as seen through Islamic eyes.
The book covers the period from the time of Mohammed to the fall of the Ottoman Empire and beyond, clarifying why Islamic and Christian civilizations grew up largely oblivious to each other, what happened when they intersected, and how the Islamic world was affected by its slow recognition that Europe had 'hijacked destiny'.
The book provides a historian's accuracy with a storyteller's verve, detailing the rise and fall of dynasties, the shifting epicenters of Islamic scholarship, and the complex interactions between Islam and state power.
