Description
A sweeping history of the conflict between Islam and the West, spanning over 1,400 years, is presented in this book. The story begins with the first major Islamic attack on Christian land in 636 and follows the subsequent battles, including the Crusades, the sieges at Constantinople and Vienna, and the European colonization of the Muslim world in the 1800s. Historian Raymond Ibrahim draws on original sources in Arabic and Greek to describe each battle in vivid detail, shedding light on the cultural fault lines between Islam and the West. This book provides the historical context needed to understand the current relationship between the West and the Islamic world.
