Product Description

Review
"Review from previous edition clear, fascinating and valuable"--The Guardian
"stimulating ... The continuous regard paid to the development of trade and economy deserves partucular praise."--History
"Professor Lewis has admirably achieved his object, notably bringing out broad economic trends"--International Affairs
.,." enormously influential history ... after reading 'Gibbon on Muhammad', it is tempting to speculate that Lewis's long-standing interest in the eighteenth-century historian may have influenced his own ambition to scan grand horizons, his taste for irony and his unmistakably elegant literary style."--Robert Irwin, Middle Eastern Studies


Product Description
`Whoever lives in our country, speaks our language, is brought up in our culture and takes pride in our glory is one of us.' Thus ran a declaration of modern leaders of Arab states. But what exactly is an Arab, and what has been their place in the course of human history? In this well-established classic, Professor Lewis examines the key issues of Arab development - their identity, the national revival which cemented the creation of the Islamic state, and the social and economic pressures that destroyed the Arab kingdom and created the Islamic empire. He analyses the forces which contributed to that empire's eventual decline, and the effects of growing Western influence. Today, with the Arab world facing profound social and political challenges, it constitutes an essential introduction to the Arabs and their history.

5.0 out of 5 stars Arabs in History, 8 Dec 2002
By S. Kader - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Bernard Lewis is the Master when it comes to the middle east historical issues & analyzing the numerous & different mentalities that form a complex behaviour, his rich articulate writing is second to none & this book its no exception.He not only recounts arabs before Islam & after when they came to dominate the arabian peninsula & surrounding areas, the political conflicts that sparked civil wars & social unrest but also the civilisation they left behind in architecture, science,literature & arts. Arabs in History is very rich in details albeit concise.
