Nice simple list
Like a short _Scotland the Best_, sweet and easy. Not a tour guide, and doesn't try.

The Heirs of Muhammad

Heirs of a Faith, Creators of an Empire
THE HEIRS Of MUHAMMAD by British journalist and travelogue author Barnaby Rogerson is both a thoroughly researched and quite enjoyable recounting of nascent Islam's first century and the origins of its split into Sunni and Shi'a factions. Rogerson has gone to great lengths with this book to show that Islam, like all mass movements, was troubled by factionalism and in-fighting even before the ...

A Good Way to Whet the Appetite
Over all, I've found the Traveller's History series of books to be a bit hit or miss. All are good at providing a good deal of the history of a nation or region, but some do so in a manner that is too dry or terse to make for enjoyable reading. Not so A Traveller's History of North Africa. Covering the land that makes up modern-day Morocco, Tunisia, Libya and Algeria, Barnaby Rogerson does a ...

A must have for your trip to Cyprus!
This is the best book on Cyprus travel that I have found. You will find not only the regular tourist sites listed, but also those out of the way gems that few have discovered. A very complete and thorough guide to Cyprus.

The Prophet Muhammad

An antidote to "The Truth about Muhammed"
I enjoyed this biography very much. I thought it struck a nice balance of respect and context driven history. The book is a nice antidote to the vitriole of "The Truth about Muhammed" by Robert Spencer on the one side, and the overly reverential view of Martin Lings biography of the Prophet (which non-Muslims might find hard to sympathize).
