Book excerpt: A sweeping history of the often-violent conflict between Islam and the West, shedding a revealing light on current hostilities The West and Islam -- the sword and scimitar -- have clashed since the mid-seventh century, when, according to Muslim tradition, the Roman emperor rejected Prophet Muhammad's order to abandon Christianity and convert to Islam, unleashing a centuries-long jihad on Christendom. Sword and Scimitar chronicles the decisive battles that arose from this ages-old Islamic jihad, beginning with the first major Islamic attack on Christian land in 636, through the Muslim occupation of nearly three-quarters of Christendom which prompted the Crusades, followed by renewed Muslim conquests by Turks and Tatars, to the European colonization of the Muslim world in the 1800s, when Islam largely went on the retreat -- until its reemergence in recent times. Using original sources in Arabic and Greek, preeminent historian Raymond Ibrahim describes each battle in vivid detail and explains how these wars and the larger historical currents of the age reflect the cultural fault lines between Islam and the West. The majority of these landmark battles -- including the battles of Yarmuk, Tours, Manzikert, the sieges at Constantinople and Vienna, and the crusades in Syria and Spain--are now forgotten or considered inconsequential. Yet today, as the West faces a resurgence of this enduring Islamic jihad, Sword and Scimitar provides the needed historical context to understand the current relationship between the West and the Islamic world -- and why the Islamic State is merely the latest chapter of an old history.

Book excerpt: "This study will seek to explain the Battle of Badr as a decisive event in Islamic history. The thesis draws on the classical theorists in military history and attempts to discover what battle is and the purpose it serves. It seeks to define the mechanism that each theorist understood created decision in battle. A further analysis of modern historians and scholars are looked at in order to apply their criteria to Badr. This thesis provides a review of the events that took place at Badr in 624 in the Hijaz of Saudi Arabia. It details the battle itself, including the actions of the belligerents on either side and some of the tactics employed by both forces. This study shows how militant Islamic terrorist leaders, like Osama bin Laden, Sayyid Qutb, Ayman al-Zawahiri, and Ibn Taymiyyah, have used the rhetoric of Badr in their writings and speeches to galvanize people for their cause. The conclusions the author makes is that the Battle of Badr was a decisive battle in Islamic history because it provided immediate and long-term social and political effects. The battle's outcome provided Muhammad immediate legitimacy in the region and provided future radical ideologues with a rhetorical device to further their message. The study concludes with various methods to counter the master narrative that Badr is a part."--Abstract.

Download or read book The Fifteen Decisive Battles of the World written by Edward Creasy and published by Blurb. This book was released on 2018-10-08 with total page 398 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the greatest classics of military history ever written, produced by an English historian who understood the significance of race in history. The author selected fifteen battles which he considered as history-changing. Each chapter provides a detailed account of the preceding events, a blow-by-blow account of the battle itself, and its immediate consequences for European and world history. Five of the battles selected were critical to the survival of European civilization: - The Battle of Marathon (490 BC) which saw the ancient Greeks defeat an invasion from the mixed-race Persian Empire; - The Battle of Gaugamela (331 BC) which saw the Macedonians under Alexander finally defeat the Persians; -The Battle of Chalons (AD 451) where the Roman general, Aëtius, with his Gothic allies, defeated the Hunnish invasion of Europe; and - The Battle of Tours (AD 732) where the Franks under Charles Martel defeated the Muslim Moorish invasion of Western Europe. Never afraid to point out the racial and subracial undertones to many of the great battles, the following quote serves as an example of how the author discussed the Battle of Tours: "The great victory won by Charles Martel over the Saracens, A.D. 732, which gave a decisive check to the career of Arab conquest in Western Europe, rescued Christendom from Islam, preserved the relics of ancient and the germs of modern civilization, and re-established the old superiority of the Indo-European over the Semitic family of mankind." The other battles were all history changing in that they affected the direction of European civilization and which nation would dominate history.

Book excerpt: Few events have dramatically altered the course of world-history as have the dynamic Muslim conquests of the seventh century. Aside from the seizure of a large expanse of onetime Roman lands and the cultural Arabization of millions of people, great wars have been continuously waged between Islam and the West- till the present. Yet ambiguity abounds as to how and why these conquests were first realized. This study seeks to ascertain the immediate factors behind the conquests in general by deconstructing the all-pivotal Battle of Yarmuk in particular. This paradigmatic encounter is ideal for extrapolating the root cause(s) of the conquests; for it was primarily at Yarmuk that the Arabs suffered notable physical and practical disadvantages-and still emerged triumphant. Thus this engagement allows one to see well beyond the usual aspects of military history- the physical and practical-and better appreciate more abstract yet decisive considerations.

Book excerpt: This book deals with Muslim victories that altered the course of human history. It begins with the Battle of Badr fought in the year 624 CE by Prophet Muhammad and his Companions against the Makkan tribe of Quraish. That battle was fought by just over one thousand men in total, and yet its impact was revolutionary, for had the Prophet lost the contest, it would have meant the end of Islam in its infancy. The victory, instead, brought forth the new faith. Other battles examined include al Yarmuk (636) where the Muslims defeated the large Byzantine army, a victory which opened the roads to Palestine and Syria, and subsequently Egypt.The third battle is that of Qadisiyyah, fought and won by the Muslims against the Persians in early 637, which opened the way to Muslim expansion towards the east.The final victory is that of Guadalete, fought in Spain in 711, when the Muslim army, largely made of Berber tribesmen, defeated the Visigoths and then gradually brought Iberia under Islamic aegis.The narrative of these battles relies on both Muslim and non-Muslim sources in nearly equal measures.There are also maps that help the reader locate the principal sites of battles and also places of importance.

Book excerpt: This fourth and final volume of the series devoted to Muslim Decisive Victories focuses on 16th century North Africa.Both Spain and Portugal, the two leading Western Christian powers of the era, had begun carving up for themselves empires in North Africa. The entire subjugation of the Maghrib seemed to be only a matter of time before the Algerians first, then the Moroccans, defeated both powers in two decisive battles.In 1541, Emperor Charles V, the most powerful ruler in Europe, led a huge armada against Algiers that included the best officers of the time such as Cortes, the conqueror of Mexico. The Spanish-led army, also including the finest soldiers of Christendom, was first beaten outside Algiers before one of the greatest storms in the history of the region hit the invaders on both land and sea and terminated the expedition. The losses in men and ships were so heavy, Spanish power was dented permanently. Charles never led another expedition. Decades later, in 1578, the Portuguese led by their king, Sebastian, and accompanied again by military elites from Europe, were met by the Moroccans (led by their Sultan, Abd al-Malek) at Wadi al-Makhzen, south of Tangiers. In an epic encounter, the Moroccans crushed the Portuguese-led army, thus terminating both Portuguese threat and power at once.These are the two mighty battles narrated in this volume. The work does not just focus on the battles it also describes their background and, in view of this, explains what would have been the consequences for the region had the Christian armies won.

Download or read book The War of the Three Gods written by Peter Crawford and published by Pen and Sword. This book was released on 2013-07-16 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: War of the Three Gods is a military history of the first half of seventh century, with heavy focus on the reign of the Eastern Roman Emperor Heraclius (AD 610-641). This was a pivotal time in world history as well as a dramatic one. The Eastern Roman Empire was brought to the very brink of extinction by the Sassanid Persians, before Heraclius managed to inflict a crushing defeat on the Sassanids with a desperate, final gambit. His conquests were short-lived, however, for the newly-converted adherents of Islam burst upon the region, administering the coup de grace to Sassanid power and laying siege to Constantinople itself to usher in a new era. ??Peter Crawford skilfully narrates the three-way struggle between the Christian Byzantine, Sassanid Persian and Islamic empires, a period peopled with fascinating characters, including Heraclius, Khusro II and the Prophet Muhammad himself. Many of the epic battles and sieges are described in as much detail as possible including Nineveh, Yarmouk, Qadisiyyah and Nihawand, Jerusalem and Constantinople. The strategies and tactics of these very different armies are discussed and analysed, while maps allow the reader to place the events and follow the varying fortunes of the contending empires. This is an exciting and important study of a conflict that reshaped the map of the world.
