In this panoramic history of Islamic culture in early Europe, Pulitzer Prize–winning historian David Levering Lewis provides a new interpretation of world-altering events whose influence remains as current as today’s headlines. At the beginning of the eighth century, the Arabs brought a momentous revolution in power, religion and culture to Dark Ages Europe. Lewis’s narrative, filled with accounts of some of the greatest battles in world history, reveals how cosmopolitan, Muslim al-Andalus flourished — a beacon of cooperation and tolerance between Islam, Judaism, and Christianity — while proto-Europe, defining itself in opposition to Islam, made virtues out of hereditary
aristocracy, religious intolerance, perpetual war, and slavery.
