The Battle That Ended Christian Syria
How Islam broke the Byzantine Empire’s hold on the East
I spent weeks researching this piece.. I read Byzantine chronicles, early Islamic sources, military histories, and modern scholarship to understand why Yarmouk changed the course of the West.

Hope you enjoy.
