Best-selling author of Rubicon and Persian Fire, Tom Holland’s new book In the Shadow of the Sword tells the story of how the ancient world came to an end and how a new power, Islam, arose. It is a tale vivid with drama, horror and startling achievement, wars and plagues, emperors in golden palaces and ulcerous saints on pillars. Bringing the debate on Islam’s origins to public view for the first time, Tom Holland is in conversation with Maajid Nawaz, Islamic extremist turned human rights advocate and author of Radical – My Journey from Islamic Extremism to a Democratic Awakening.
