About This Item
384pp. The fantastically short time in which this empire was built up, the ludicrous simplicity of its "administration" under the barefoot khalifs, these victories won through burning religious zeal and desperate courage by relatively untrained and unorganized armies make for exciting reading. No one-volume history has ever covered this remarkable material before, and this is a book made vivid and relevant by General Glubb's knowledge of the terrain and of the Arab character, his gift for seeing modern parallels, the care he has taken not to assume background knowledge of the period on the part of his readers, and the maps he has personally drawn. Includes an Index.
