9 reviews for Baghdad

  1. Anshul Singh Vimal

    This book offers a sweeping narrative of Baghdad’s past. I especially liked the sections on the Golden Age. Some confusing timelines.

  2. Kaushank Verma

    A comprehensive history, perhaps too comprehensive. It felt a bit dense at times, but I learned a lot. The characters were vividly portrayed.

  3. Paras Bhardwaj

    I was expecting more on the modern era. The focus on the medieval period was interesting but left me wanting more. Overall, good.

  4. Diyasha Sadhukhan

    Five stars! This book is a masterpiece. The author’s passion for Baghdad shines through. Highly recommend!

  5. Gorika Goyal

    Absolutely stunning! I couldn’t put it down. Marozzi’s writing is engaging and informative. A must-read for history buffs.

  6. Gopidesi Krishnaveni

    A well-researched and insightful look at Baghdad’s rich past. Some parts dragged a bit, but the overall picture is compelling.

  7. Nandini

    An excellent account of Baghdad’s rise and fall. It’s a bit heavy on the political side, but still a worthwhile read.

  8. Harshit Jain

    Interesting but dry at times. It’s a lot of information to take in, and I wish there were more maps or illustrations.

  9. Sarthak Dipak Bhadange

    Marozzi really brings Baghdad to life. The early history was fascinating, but I got a little lost in the later conquests. Still, a worthwhile read.
