Description
Crusade and Jihad: The Thousand-year War Between the Muslim World and the Global North by William R. Polk is a comprehensive history of the conflict between the Muslim world and societies in Europe, Russia, China, America, and beyond. This book explores the complex and often tumultuous relationship between Islam and the Global North, tracing its development from the rise of Islam to the present day. Polk draws on his extensive experience as a historian, policy planner, diplomat, peace negotiator, and businessman to shed light on the deep-seated hostilities between the Muslim world and the Global North. From the vibrant caliphate of al-Andalus in medieval Spain to the brutal colonial expansion of European powers, Polk examines the various ways in which Islam was shaped by its interactions with other cultures. He also shows how these encounters had a profound impact on the course of history, leading to centuries of conflict and tension between the Muslim world and the Global North.
