Raymond Ibrahim, using rich source material, presents a chronicle of groundbreaking battles fought as a result of the Islamic holy war. From the first raids on Christian territory in the 7th century, through the Battle of Vienna in 1683, to the European colonization of the Muslim world in the 19th century, the author meticulously describes successive clashes, explaining how wars and broader historical currents of the era reflect the dividing lines between the two religions. Most of these battles, such as those on the Yarmuk River, at Tours, or Manzikert, have been forgotten or neglected by scholars. However, in the face of the resurgence of jihad, "Sword and Scimitar" provides an essential historical context for understanding current relations between the West and Islam.
