James HowardJohnston provides a sweeping and highly readable account of probably the most dramatic single episode in world history the emergence of a new religion (Islam), the destruction of two established great powers (Roman and Iranian), and the creation of a new world empire by the Arabs, all in the space of not much more than a generation (61052 AD). Warfare looms large, especially where operations can be followed in some detail, as in Iraq 63640, in Egypt 6412 and in the longdrawn out battle for the Mediterranean (64998). As the first history of the formative phase of Islam to be grounded in the important nonIslamic as well as Islamic sources Witnesses to a World Crisis is essential reading for anyone wanting to understand Islam as a religion and political force, the modern Middle East, and the jihadist impulse, which is as evident today as it was in the seventh century.
