The Islamists
This work portrays Islamic history from pre-Islamic Arabia to the fall of the Ottoman Empire, a long period in which several events had consequences for the Islamic world. The book is composed of nine chapters, which not only emphasize the formation of Islamic society, or ummah, in its religious aspect, but also the construction of the caliphates, emphasizing the political, administrative, economic and military areas. Other events, such as the Crusades, the Mongol Invasion and the Islamic Empires, were included, as they contributed to the emergence of new Islamic branches. This work is recommended both for those interested in the subject and for professionals in the academic field, especially for undergraduate and graduate courses in International Relations, History, Geography and related disciplines, in which they address the region of the “Middle East”.
