| Résumé : |
The fiery reawakening of the Arab nations since World War II has shocked a world that had forgotten the inherent vitality of Islam.
But the clues are in history. By A.D. 732, little more than one hundred years after the time of Mohammed, the Arabs had carved out an empire that stretched from the Pyrenees to the Himalayas. During centuries when Paris and London were mud villages, Baghdad was the center of an opulent civilization. Modern medicine, science, architecture, and mathematics all owe a debt to the Arabs. While carefully explaining the historical roots of great events, Robert Goldston has painted a vivid, sweeping panorama of a fascinating people. Here are the bloody defeats and the dramatic victories; the villains, strategists, and heroes that have led the Arabs to their pivotal position in world politics today. |
