The high point of medieval islamic expansion was the 700-year
presence of the 'Moors' in Spain and Portugal. The Arab and Berber
conquest was followed by the establishment of a richly distinct
culture in Andalusia, where for a while Muslim and Christian
co-operated as often as they fought. The rise and fall of
successive Islamic dynasties brought new invaders, fragmentation
and disunity; and the growing Christian kingdoms to the north
eventually doomed the amirate of Granada, the last Moorish bastion,
which fell to the Castilians in 1492. The extraordinarily varied
and colourful armies of Westem Islam are described and illustrated
here in fascinating detail.
