Description: 8vo, wrappers. Pp XII, 433, with sixteen pages of plates. From the preface: "Thanks to the work of my predecessors, I have felt freer than they to reduce the political narrative to a minimum and to devote more attention to social, economic and, above all, cultural change. With this in view, I have made frequent use of direct quotations from contemporary sources-chronicles and travels, documents and inscriptions, and sometimes even poetry and anecdote. " read more

"Lots of dates and details, but a wealth of information about a region and time period I didn't really know anything about before I read the book. I liked it. Would have to read it multiple times to really process and remember all the dates and historical figures though."
By Aaron,
Puerto Verde, Falkland Islands (malvinas)
"A good general history of the Middle East with a strong focus on Islamic (think Turkish, Lewis's main area of study)history from 622 AD to the first gulf war. The most important sections cover culture, local politics and the lower classes, subjects rarely covered in most surveys, which often seem to only bounce from war to war."
"Confession: I didn't read it all, but I was looking for some rather specific things and ended up reading more than half of it anyway. It is rather dry - think textbook - but very informative and gives a very well rounded picture of the subject."
