Today’s Arab world was created at breathtaking speed. In just over one hundred years following the death of Mohammed in 632, Arabs had subjugated a territory with an east-west expanse greater than the Roman Empire, and they did it in about one-half the time. By the mid-eighth century, Arab armies had conquered the thousand-year-old Persian Empire, reduced the Byzantine Empire to little more than a city-state based around Constantinople, and destroyed the Visigoth kingdom of Spain. The cultural and linguistic effects of this early Islamic expansion reverberate today. This is the first popular English-language account in many years of this astonishing remaking of the political and religious map of the world. Hugh Kennedy’s sweeping narrative reveals how the Arab armies conquered almost everything in their path, and brings to light the unique characteristics of Islamic rule. One of the few academic historians with a genuine talent for story telling, Kennedy offers a compelling mix of larger-than-life characters, fierce battles, and the great clash of civilizations and religions.

“小心翼翼”的大征服
简评:历史的必然与今日的幻像
重返中东——读《大征服》
这篇书评可能有关键情节透露
一时兴起写作正文之前,先走流程—— 人在家里(不是菜市场的草草翻阅),刚下马桶(已经沐浴更衣焚香拜佛),泻药(书中自有黄金屋),利益相关(风能进雨能进皇帝要书不能进),汗青堂牛逼(必须牛逼)! 作为一个对这段历史近乎完全无知的读者,其实很难对《大征服——阿拉... (展开)阿拉伯大征服成功的内外因
