About this title Some historians divide history into periods
dominated by one civilisation. Greece, Rome, India, China,
Western Europe and North America have all had their moment in the
sun, but from the 8th to 11th centuries the Islamic world led the
way. With numerous illustrations and photographs, including eight
attractive full page colour plates by Graham Turner, this worthy
addition to Osprey's Men-at-Arms series by David Nicolle examines
the recruitment, organisation, weaponry, costume and uniforms of
the armies of the Caliphates from 862-1098.
