É nos pequenos pormenores que se nota a pena do mestre! Livro escrito de forma sempre interessante e, por vezes, empolgante. Devido à sua estrutura cronológica, pode também ser utilizado como obra de consulta. Árabes e Islão não são a mesma coisa. Sem o Islão os Árabes nunca teriam entrado na História e sem petróleo estariam hoje à margem do progresso.

Obra interessante e que se lê com facilidade. Além de esclarecer os aspectos históricos, sociais e políticos da seita dos Assassinos, é também muito interessante para compreender as cisões sucessivas em xiitas, ismaelitas, naziristas e assassinos.
Os aspectos da doutrina religiosa só são referidos quando se tronam relevantes para a História Política, por isso, não se percebe as diferenças religiosas entre sunitas e xiitas, nem entre os ismaelitas e os outros xiitas.
