Short History Of The Saracens (Hardcover, Revised)

This is an unusual and indispensable history of the Saracens. Modern Europe is still working with the legacy left by the Saracens and the intellectual wealth they shared with their successors. It is surprising that the history of these important people should be logically confused by specialists. The history of the Saracens is also the history of the spread of Islam. This work chronicles the rise and decline of Saracen power and of the economic, social and intellectual development of the Arab nations.
