The collection includes previously unpublished writings English originals of articles published before only in foreign languages and an introduction to the book by Lewis. Acclaim for What Went Wrong? A New York Times Bestseller " Replete with the exceptional historical insight that one has come to expect from the world's foremost Islamic scholar." - - Karen Elliott House Wall Street Journal Lewis has done us all - - Muslim and non - Muslim alike - - a remarkable service.
