Different with other book that discusss about Early Islamic Conquest, at this book, Hussam Itani, Lebanese Journalist and Historian, tell about Islamic Conquest from sources that written by nations that conquered by Muslim Army , such as several chronichles from Byzantine, Persia, Armenia, Jewish, and other. This book , narrated how Islamic Conquest  viewed by objects, at this context, nations that conquered by Muslims Goverment ( Rashidun, Umayyad, and Abbasid Caliphate). 

This book, cited several 7 TH Century Chronichles from Christian Community at territories that conquest by Muslims Goverment. Such as at Egypt, Itani cited chronichles that written by Christian Coptics bishops at Egypt at 7 TH Century that tell how Rashidun Army under Amr Ibn Ash conquer Egypt from Byzantine Empire. Many sources that used by Itani for explained about Islamic Conquest at Middle East Territories. He used chronichles that written by Muslim s conquer s nations, and compared it with Islamic Traditional Historiography Written, such as Book Of Tarikh al-Umam wa al-Muluk that written by al-Tabari, one Islamic Traditional Historian at Abbasid Dynasty Era.

Itani , has deep understanding for sources that written by Muslim Conquer Nations. Included when he explained Origin Of Islam at 7 TH Century according History Of Heraclius, one chronichles that written by Armenian Bishop, Sebeos at 7 TH Century, that tell that Islam , at his origin, only one nomad assocations that consist from Arabians and Palestinian Jewishs under Propeth Muhammad Shallahu Alaihi Wasallam, that at his progress conquer Levant Territories ( now Syria, Palestine, Lebanon, and Jordan) from Byzantine Empire and also defeat Persian Army. But, according Itani, this chronichle cannot became primary refrences, though contemporaries, because Sebeos only know information about Islam from several prisoners of war that ever prisoned by Muslim ( Rashidun Caliphate) Army. 

But, this book also have weakness, history at this book dont tell by chronological line. Such as Itani tell chapter about Origin Of Islam according Sebeos s chronichle after  chapter about Conquest Of Egypt.  Whereas, Islamic Conquest at Egypt at 7 TH Century, happened at Caliph Umar Ibn Khattab s era, long time after Origin Of Islam that  pionereed by Propeth Muhammad Shallahu Alaihi Wasallam ( die 632 AD). For get chronological line, must compared by other sources, such as Penaklukan Muslim Yang Mengubah Dunia by Hugh Kennedy.
