Islamic Conquests - Karbala & Qadisiyya
crimean
Just finished reading the most recent Osprey Essential Histories – The Great Islamic Conquest. David Nicolle has always been one my favourite Osprey authors, and this book is a good account of the period covered. I was hoping Osprey could cover some of the early formative Islamic battles in Campaign titles. The battle of Karbala 680 has repercussions to this day. The battle of Qadisiyya 636 effectively ended the Sassanid empire and enabled the Muslims to conquest further east. If Osprey could cover other Islamic conquest during this period that would also be fantastic.

Hi both, thank you as ever for your comments – as regular forum posters it probably won’t come as a shock when I say that Campaign is a hugely popular series with proposals, and the editors are absolutely inundated with ideas! However, these ideas can be put to them for consideration when they have a moment.
