In 1093 the Moors of the Almoravide dynasty, under the Caliph Yusuf, swept irresistibly upwards into the Iberian peninsular, recapturing Lisbon and Santarem.
In Absolution; Sabatini describes the event in a superbly written account.
His writing is like continuos prose rather than reporting and seems as fresh today as it was when composed in 1919.
The recent events in Afghanistan are just another chapter in the constant war throughout the decades between Islam and Christianity.
I thoroughly enjoyed it and recommend it to anyone who wants an insight into the history of Portugal.
