The Arabs in History
Bernard Lewis
This volume considers the achievement of the Arab peoples and their place in world history, from pre-Islamic times to the mid 1960s. The author examines the awakening that accompanied the advent of Islam and the political, religious, and social developments that transformed the Arab kingdom into an Islamic empire. He describes events in the Middle East and analyzes the forces, internal and external, that have shaped the Arab world. He shows how Western inventions and institutions have shattered the old structures and the traditional way of life, affecting every Arab, and causing a still unsatisfied demand for social, political, and cultural renewal.
