Sultan Ahmad al-Mansur (1578-1603) was one of the most important
rulers in the history of Morocco, which to this day bears the mark
of his twenty-five year rule in the sixteenth century. Though famed
for his cunning diplomacy in the power struggle over the
Mediterranean, and his allegiance with Britain against Spain in the
conquest for the newly discovered Americas, he was more than a
political and military tactician. A descendent of the Prophet
Muhammad himself, al-Mansur was a charismatic religious authority
with ambitions to become Caliph and ruler of all Muslims. Spanning
four continents, Dr. Garcia-Arenal places this fascinating figure
in a context of political intrigue, discovery and military
conquest. With insightful analysis, a glossary and a guide to
further reading, this book is the ideal introduction to a
multifaceted figure who fully deserves the epithet "Maker of the
Muslim World".
