Publisher’s Summary:

During the golden age of Islam, the Abbasid caliph Harun al-Rashid built a great library in the city of Baghdad, but the savage conflicts among humans led to the destruction of this great treasure, and its writings vanished into the Tigris River.  

In this book, there’s a lesson for us and a call to build a new House of Wisdom, and to protect it so that future generations can inherit it.
