Summary: History is not what it seems
Comment: This is a very strange book indeed. It challenges all the established notions of the causes of historical events. It does not read like a cultist account. After reading it I think anyone will find his thoughts about the nature of history will change, even if he thinks all or most of the contents are nonsense.
Clearly the author has been closely associated with the modern expressions of the Sufi tradition.
The references within the text give the reader links to much other material and show signs of genuine scholarship - quite different from the run of the mill cultist books which fill the shelves of so many bookshops.
Among the topics which the western reader may find startling are thoughts about the origins of western science, Shakespear, much of western literature and its relation to what is often thought of as 'eastern' literature. Even the current decline of religion and the rise of drug taking are mentioned as being possibly the results of causes quite unsuspected by the average person.
I have been reading this book since it was first published in 1983 and still find new thoughts in it.

Summary: Thoughts among some facts
Comment: The author has written based on some historical facts and his arguments supported by an objective perspective. Despite of the fact there are many possible ways of things have taken place he made them exposed rather than hidden therefore it was pretty clear that we were talking about possibilities. He also demonstrated a huge knowledge about many and diverse subjects and that's why he look so reasoned. I recommend to anyone who has some interest in a big picture of some current and old theories about human history. It gives you an opportunity to rethink your position and just that makes it worth. We cannot afford to take our western scientific way of thinking as the only way to explain a world of experiences.

Summary: Missing link to official history
Comment: A remarkable account, chuckfull of verifiable information and sources, in spite of what other individuals have written in their reviews.
More of a "you-connect-the-dots" description, not for the lighthearted and lazy, no this is not tv, or USA today dear Valencia reader.
