		The Byzantine defeat at the battle of Yarmuk in 636 led to the loss of Syria, rapidly followed by Egypt and other North African possessions.
		The defeat at the Yarmuk 'exposed the Byzantines' fallacious assumption that they were dealing with mere beduin, rather than the co- ordinated army of a new state' (137), but some discussion of how justified the Byzantines were in this assumption would be in order.
		This is clearly not one but two battles and one of the Arab traditions (Tabari) suggests a month-long interval between the first clashes and the breakout from the wadi.

		This is a remarkable battle by a remarkable soldier.
		In many ways it is similar to the battle of Stalingrad where the Russian defenders finally broke an all conquering Nazi Army.
		The reader is taken inside the battle, inside the antagonists heads and sometimes even the speeches they gave to remobilize a crumbling army to regroup and eventual victory.

		I must admit that even the 2D and 3D maps are pretty lame, as it is exceedingly difficult to tell between the armies (there are about 6 of them in the 2D maps, their movements are all in the same color, and the only difference between them is the minute spaces between the dashed lines).
		I find it odd that most military historians omit the Battle of Yarmuk in their descriptions of great battles.
		It describes the crucial events of the battle each day it lasted, and includes funny anecdotes such as the actions of Hind bint Utbah, Abu Sufyan's formidable wife, who took part in the battle.
