"Although I would rate Marshall Hodgson's "The Venture of Islam" series the best overall history of the Islamicate world of the books I've read, I think "The Oxford History of Islam" does an excellent job, and I would say it is the best overall history of the Islamicate world for those without much previous knowledge and/or non-students or scholars of Islam. "The Oxford History of Islam" covers all (or most) the important basics of the Islamicate world from a variety of top-notch scholars. It provides a good historical grounding that goes beyond the traditional Arab and Middle-Eastern bias of many histories of the Islamicate world, and it does a good job explaining the issues facing the modern Islamicate world. Again, while not the best overall book for scholars, it has an advatntage over many scholarly books in that it is in a much easier to read format, including color photos."
"This is a VERY interesting book. It is a text book from my daughter's university course of a few years back. I didn't read every chapter, but learned so much from the history chapters at the front."
"I can't claim to have read this whole book, it really isn't meant to be read that way. I think this is the best reference I have on the Islamic world."
