On November 20, 1979, worldwide attention was focused on Tehran, where the Iranian hostage crisis was entering its third week. The same morning, the first of a new Muslim century, hundreds of gunmen stunned the world by seizing Islam's holiest shrine, the Grand Mosque in Mecca. Armed with rifles that they had smuggled inside coffins, these men came from more than a dozen countries, launching the first operation of global jihad in modern times.

Very Good Narration, Very Bad pronunciation

Would you consider the audio edition of The Siege of Mecca to be better than the print version?
About the same
What aspect of Todd McLaren’s performance would you have changed?
The Arabic word are constantly mispronounced.
Even something as simple as the Saudi ruling family's name is wrongly pronounced as al-saad as opposed to correct pronunciation aal-e-sa'ood.
