In 633 AD, the ancient world was turned upside down. Having just systematically dismantled the Sassanid Persian superpower in Iraq, Caliph Abu Bakr turned his eyes westward to open a second, infinitely more dangerous front: the invasion of Roman Syria.

In this massive, about 2-hour documentary compilation (The Syrian Campaign—Part 1), witness one of the most audacious military campaigns in human history. To save the disjointed Muslim armies from total annihilation by Emperor Heraclius's imperial war machine, Khalid ibn Walid must execute an impossible, suicidal march across the waterless Syrian desert.

Follow the Sword of Allah as he shatters the Byzantine defenses, from the psychological terror of the Siege of Bosra to the apocalyptic, world-changing climax on the blood-soaked plains of Ajnadein, where 32,000 desert veterans face a mathematically impossible clash against a 90,000-strong Roman juggernaut.

This is the complete, epic story of the opening moves of the Syrian Campaign.
