Raves and Reviews
"Any reader, whether coming to 'Abd al-Malik for the first time or already familiar with some of the evidence and literature pertaining to him, will find this book rewarding."
– International Journal of Middle East Studies
"This book is great. It combines crystal-clear writing with original and tightly argued ideas. Some of the more complex issues of early Islamic history are (seemingly) effortlessly elucidated for the benefit of students and scholars alike."
– Adam Silverstein - Lecturer in Islamic History, Oxford University
