The Sword of Allah, Khalid Bin Al-Waleed: A Biographical Study of One of the Greatest Military Generals in History

Premium Quality 

The Sword of Allah: Khalid bin Al-Waleed (Raz), is written by the late Lieutenant-General A.I. Akram. The author learnt Arabic in order to draw on the earliest historical sources and he visited every one of Khalid’s battlefields in order to draw analyses from the viewpoint of military strategy, including reconciling conflicting historians’ accounts. Muslim history is replete with great military achievements and glorious Feats of arms. In the annals of war there are no battles that surpass, in brilliance and decisiveness, the battles of Islam; no commanders who surpass, in courage and skill, the gifted generals of Islam. The sword has always held a place of honour in Muslim culture. And yet very little is known in the world today about the military history of lslam.
