Sword of the Prophet
By Goldston.
Description
The fiery reawakening of the Arab nations since World War II has shocked a world which 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. - from Amzon
