People of the Book: The Forgotten History of Islam and the West by Zachary Karabell, from John Murray, is part of the collection at the Reading Room.

“Christians and Jews, however the relationship between Islam and the West has never been simply one of animosity, but also one of cooperation. In an extraordinary narrative spanning fourteen centuries, Zachary Karabell reminds us that these three faiths have fought and taught each other. Retrieving this forgotten history is vital to a more stable, secure world.” — back cover
