empires,the Roman and the Persian,and covering the growth of Christianity,the
rise and spread of Islam,the waves of invaders from the east,the Mongol hordes
of Jengiz Khan,the rise of the Ottoman Turks,and the changing balance of power
between the Muslim and Christian worlds.THE MIDDLE EAST is a brilliant survey of
the history and civilisations of the region.
