Khalid Bin Al-Waleed (Sword of Allah)
Khalid bin Al-Waleed was one of the greatest generals in history, and
one of the greatest heroes of Islam. Besides him, Genghis Khan was the
only other general to remain undefeated in his entire military life. A
measure of Khalid's genius is that he was the only person to inflict a
(temporary) defeat on the Prophet Muhammad, (may Allah bless him and
grant him peace).The original title of the book, "The Sword of Allah:
Khalid bin Al-Waleed, His Life and Campaigns" was written by the late
Lieutenant-General A.I. Akram of the Pakistan Army, in October 1969. The
author learnt Arabic in order to draw on the earliest historical
sources and he visited every one of Khalid's battlefields in order to
draw analyses from the viewpoint of military strategy, including
reconciling conflicting historians' accounts. The book was originally
published by the Army Education Press, Rawalpindi, Pakistan and printed
by Feroze Sons Publishers in Lahore, Pakistan. The excellence of the
book was such that it has been translated from English into Arabic and
is currently sold in bookshops throughout the Arab World.
