具体描述
Today’s Arab world was created at breathtaking speed. In just over 100 years following the death of Mohammed in 632, Arabs had subjugated a territory with an east-west expanse greater than the Roman Empire. They did it in about one-half the time. By the mid-8th century, Arab armies had conquered the 1000-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.

评分《大征服》——指的是阿拉伯对于周边领土的征服。 从阿拉伯这个民族的形成开始讲起，慢慢讲到阿拉伯帝国形成后对周边领土的占有和管理。 这本书的行文结构，更像是一本论文的模样。 有开头，讲了这个阿拉伯帝国的兴起，中间讨论的都是清晰的分了章节的内容，比如征服伊拉克，征...
评分从遥远阿拉伯宫廷中的一千零一夜，到数十年如一日霸屏新闻联播的中东乱局，再到当下的石油期货负价格，关于阿拉伯世界，人人都能说几句，说的却也都差不多，知其然而不知其所以然，好似一场场“天方夜谭”：天方，距离地域远，夜谭，距离真相远。 近年来，随着“一带一路”战略...
