This volume presents a selection of the key studies in which
leading scholars since the beginning of the 20th century attempt to
explain the phenomenally rapid expansion of the early Islamic state
during the 7th century CE. The articles debate the causes for the
conquest movement or expansion, the reasons for its success, the
nature of the movement itself, the impact the expansion had on the
countries affected by it, and the complex questions surrounding the
sources on which historians have constructed their views of the
expansion, and the reliability (or lack of it) of those sources. No
articles devoted to the actual conquest of a given locality are
included-hundreds exist-but a fairly extensive bibliography lists
many of the more important contributions in this genre. The
editor's introduction addresses the phenomenon of the expansion and
how scholars have approached and grappled with it.
