About this title The dramatic eruption of the Arab peoples
from Arabia after their adoption of the Muslim faith in the 7th
century remains one of the most extraordinary events in world
history. By the end of that century they ruled a state that
stretched from the Atlantic to India, from southern Arabia to
Central Asia, covering an area far greater than that of the Roman
Empire. Therefore warfare, at least among the nomadic bedouin,
was a normal aspect of life. Complemented by numerous
illustrations, including eight full page colour plates by Angus
McBride, this detailed text by David Nicolle tells the real story
of the armies of the Muslim conquest.
