Have you ever read Louis L'Amour's "Walking Drum". I highly recommend it. It is a book set in the peak of the Muslim rule in Southern Europe and Northern Africa.

Excellent book. I had hoped he would do a sequel.

I'm not sure most people (especially in the West) get the devastation caused by the Mongols, especially in TransOxonia.
