A concise history of the Muslim countries. It begins with Rome and
Persia and the pre-Islamic Bedouins and ends with the fall of
Baghdad to the Mongols (1258), and in the West with the fall of
Granada to the Christians (1492). The author seeks to unravel the
many motivations and influences that went into the making of
Islamic history and to expound and evaluate them. He frequently
reminds the reader of economic and cultural developments taking
place at the same time as, and often in intimate connection with,
the more overtly political events. In her introduction, Jane
Hathaway shows the connection between the history of Islamic
civilization and world history.
