Book summary

Tamim Ansaray offers a corrective to the generally accepted history of the world as he offers the key chapters that are so often missing from Western accounts. Ansaray's history reveals that both individual events as well as major perspectives differ greatly, and even those times when the East and the West encountered each other are seen quite in different ways from one another. He reveals that there developed a widespread feeling that Europeans had hijacked history, to the detriment of the Islamic world, which had often viewed Europe as somewhat savage and uncivilized. DESTINY DISRUPTED provides important historical background and context, and clarifies why, in modern times, there is a great divide between the two cultures.
