The book “Arabs and Iranians in the Islamic Conquest Narrative” is a specialized work that delves into the events known as the Arab conquests of Iran. However, its translation was undertaken by a translator unfamiliar with the basic principles of history, resulting in a text rife with glaring errors. This chapter aims to highlight the numerous flaws and deficiencies in the translation of the book, to illustrate to non-specialist readers and enthusiasts the potential scientific disasters that can ensue when one ventures into specialized fields without even a basic understanding of the relevant principles. The author of these lines hopes that this example will serve as a lesson to them.
