The Great Arab Conquests: How the Spread of Islam Changed the World We Live In. Kennedy, H. Phoenix Press, 2007. abstract bibtex This accessible history traces the extraordinary events of the seventh century, which saw the newly Muslim Arabs defeat both the Byzantine and Sasanian Empires, conquering lands which stretched from Iran and Iraq, through Syria and Egypt to Morocco and into Spain and Southern France. Even more astonishing was the enduring nature of these conquests, and the speed with which Islam as a religion was able to take hold in conquered areas. Hugh Kennedy not only vividly describes these events but examines the factors behind the astonishing success of the Arab armies, arguing that timing was everything, but that Islam proved a strong motivational and unifying force in the Arab armies.
