About This Book:

In the 7th century, as the ancient superpowers of Rome and Persia tore cach other apart in a war that scorched nations and emptied empires, an unexpected force emerged from the heart of Arabia, united not by blood or tribe, but by faith. From this rising power came commanders whose legacies echo across continents. Amr ibn al-Aas, master strategist and statesman, led disciplined armies across the Sinai into Egypt, a land layered with the ruins of civilizations. Before him loomed the colossal Roman fortress of Babylon.Through relentless siege craft and unyielding resolve, Amr shattered its defenses, redirecting the course of history.To the west advanced Uqba ibn Nafi, the lion of North Africa. Founding Ocirowan and pushing across horizons that seemed endless, he forged outposts of Islam in lands of fierce resistance. Reports say he rode to the very edge of the Atlantic Sea saying "O Allah, had this sca not stopped me, I would have continued in the lands beyond, fighting in Your path and proclaiming Your Oneness"But North Africa fought back. The Muslim Conquest of Egypt and North Africa by A.I. Akram is an unmissable chronicle of war, faith, and destiny. Essential reading for historians, students, and enthusiasts of military history, it brings to light the forgotten struggles and sweeping triumphs that shaped the future of Africa and the Muslim world.
