The scope of the narrative is impressive and takes in social, economic, political, religious, military and cultural history. The book also boasts an impressive cast of characters. In addition the book has a very comprehensive bibliography (20 pages) and index (12 pages), making it ideal not only for the general reader but also for students and historians.
