This book offers a radical perspective on what are conventionally
called the Islamic Conquests of the seventh century. Placing these
earthshattering events firmly in the context of Late Antiquity, it
argues that many of the men remembered as the fanatical agents of
Muhammad probably did not know who the prophet was and had, in
fact, previously fought for Rome or Persia. The book applies to the
study of the collapse of the Roman Near East techniques taken from
the historiography of the fall of the Roman West. Through a
comparative analysis of medieval Arabic and European sources
combined with insights from frontier studies, it argues that the
two falls of Rome involved processes far more similar than
traditionally thought. It presents a fresh approach to the century
that witnessed the end of the ancient world, appealing to students
of Roman and medieval history, Islamic Studies, and advanced
scholars alike.
