Upon its publication in 1991, Albert Hourani's masterwork was
hailed as the definitive story of Arab civilization, and became
both a bestseller and an instant classic. In a panoramic view
encompassing twelve centuries of Arab history and culture, Hourani
brilliantly illuminated the people and events that have
fundamentally shaped the Arab world.
Now this seminal book is available in an expanded second
edition. Noted Islamic scholar Malise Ruthven brings the story up
to date from the mid-1980s, including such events as the Gulf War;
civil unrest in Algeria; the change of leadership in Syria,
Morocco, and Jordan; and the aftermath of the events of September
11, 2001.
The terrorist attacks in the United States, ongoing crisis in
Iraq, and renewed violence between Israelis and Palestinians all
underscore the need for a balanced and well-informed understanding
of the Arab world, and make this insightful history of the Arab
peoples more important than ever.
