In Destiny Disrupted, Tamim Ansary tells the rich story of world history as it looks from a new perspective: with the evolution of the Muslim community at the center. His story moves from the lifetime of Mohammed through a succession of far-flung empires, to the tangle of modern conflicts that culminated in the events of 9/11. He introduces the key people, events, ideas, legends, religious disputes, and turning points of world history, imparting not only what happened but how it is understood from the Muslim perspective.

I was enamored of the premise of this work from the moment I read its introduction. An Afghani kid from the US is going to explain the history of the world from the view of one of the other major cultures. I immediately imagined such a project for the Chinese world or the Indian.
I loved this book on my first read through, and when I saw that it was coming to audible I eagerly awaited its release. To a great extent it continues to inform my understanding of Arab, Turkish and Farsi attitudes in the modern world.
Although I of course disagree with the author’s understanding of the events since the start of the 20th century, this work is, by definition, one of perspective, and even that disagreement is, in a way, vindicating.
