Where does In God's Path rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

I rate it pretty high and top of the list of all audio books I ever listened.

I picked up a history book after a long time and having read a lot of history books on Rome, Byzantine, Persian and recent Indian history (from 12th century onward) and many from Muslim view point; I find myself in unique position to comment. In my opinion professor did an excellent job gathering up a lot of information and summing up nicely from outsider's view point. It is as unbiased commentary on the events took place between 6th and 8th century events in Arabian peninsula and neighboring regions. Also, how people jumped to the Arab identity and fall back to their ancestral roots later.

What was one of the most memorable moments of In God's Path?

It's a non fiction history book on the events that are well known, so mostly I knew what to expect.

Which scene was your favorite?

All. This book is very intense with lots of information.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes. Unfortunately I couldn't but still finished it pretty quickly.

Any additional comments?

1 - Moghals in India existed till 1857 in Dehli and not 1757 when British sacked the last moghal king Bahadur Shah Zafar.

2 - There is no mention of the food items that those unique communities of 6th to 8th century consumed, as we know that Muslims strictly eat halal meat while Jewish eat Kosher meat and both don’t eat Pigs, hogs or boars etc.

Finally, this book has a lot of information in one place which is very impressive. I hope to read another book on the later events soon by this author.
