| Résumé : | Drawing on his considerable experience as a historian and journalist in the Middle East, Peter Mansfield explores the social, political, and historical aspects of the region—from the pre-Islamic nomads of Arabia, the life of Muhammad, and the rise of Arab power that followed, to the Western colonial period, the tragedy of Palestine, and the modern Arab renaissance, reinforced by the power of oil. He examines how the consequences of centuries of struggle for dominance between Christendom and the Islamic world continue to shape the region today. |
