Lost Islamic History by Firas Alkhateeb

This is probably one of the best. It covers in a few hundred pages what other books have covered in thousands. It encompasses almost the entire history of Muslim world right from the time of the Prophet (peace upon him) through the very exciting initial period of khilafat rashida through the turbulent times of the khilfa, the transition form the Khilafa to the hereditary kingdoms and later expansion of Islam in three continents.
It is amazing how the author has captured this vast subject in such a small space. It is brief but concise.

Nothing important has been left out. It is very coherent and you never feel hurried or rushed even though the author is sometimes going through centuries of history sometimes in a space of few dozen pages. That really shows author’s mastery of the subject as you have to posses great judgement in what to include and what to omit.
