ISBN10: 0385531354, ISBN13: 9780385531351, [publisher: Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group] Hardcover First Edition In the Shadow of the Sword, byTOM HOLLAND- the acclaimed author of Rubicon and Persian Fire. New York: Doubleday, 2012. First American Edition, First Printing. 526 pages illustrated with maps and color photography. I. Introduction. Known unknowns II. Jahiliyya Iranshahr New Rome The children of Abraham Countdown to apocalypse III. Hijra. More questions than answers The forging of Islam Envoi: plus CA change? Timeline Dramatis personae. 526 pp. "The acclaimed author of Rubicon and other superb works of popular history now produces a thrillingly panoramic (and incredibly timely) account of the rise of Islam. No less significant than the collapse of the Roman Republic or the Persian invasion of Greece, the evolution of the Arab empire is one of the supreme narratives of ancient history, a story dazzlingly rich in drama, character, and achievement. Just like the Romans, the Arabs came from nowhere to carve out a stupefyingly vast dominion except that they achieved their conquests not over the course of centuries as the Romans did but in a matter of decades. Just like the Greeks during the Persian wars, they overcame seemingly insuperable odds to emerge triumphant against the greatest empire of the day not by standing on the defensive, however, but by hurling themselves against all who lay in their path."
