Names of books are being mentioned below: - A short History of Islam- Mazhar Ul haq
- Spanish history - Mazhar Ul Haq
- A Short History of Arab- PK Hatti
- Moors in Spain-Poole
First two books cover 90 % syllabus of IHC. Only Ottoman Empire is not discussed in Mazhar's book. Otherwise, it is sufficient for preparation of IHC. You can get 60+ by consulting Mazhar's book. PK Hatti is good book for opinion making for portion from Pre-partition till modern world. For Spanish history, Moors in Spain is also used for references. You can reach on summit of IHC by consulting books that mentioned above. |
Are you sure that these are enough? The only reason I didn't opt IHC is the excessive time required for collecting authentic and concise sources for this subject. I am interested in it more than US History and it can save me an extra subject in KPK PMS as it is of 200 marks as compared to 100 marks US History. I can still switch as I have only prepared one topic of US History till now.
What do you suggest? No pressure, I just want an opinion ----- decision will be mine.
