Description
Solomon's Table by John Hallam Lott is a historical account of a pivotal battle that defied conventional warfare strategies. In the early eighth century, Islamic armies had secured much of North Africa and the Mediterranean Islands for the Umayyad dynasty in Damascus. The author explores how one battle stood out from the rest, with no clear strategy employed by its commander. The book delves into the tactics and mindset of the commander, who famously advised that "if you want to win, you think like the enemy." However, this approach was not applied during a specific battle, which had far-reaching consequences for the Christian world. Lott's narrative sheds light on this intriguing event, providing insight into the complexities of medieval warfare. With 276 pages and a paperback binding, Solomon's Table offers a detailed examination of a significant historical event.
