Covering the religious principles of Islam and its world-wide political dimension, 'The Rough Guide Chronicle' tells the whole story of Islam. From Muhammad's proclamation of a monotheism to rival Judaism and Christianity, it traces the emergence of a succession of empires in the wake of the Arab conquests, continuing right through to modern-day fundamentalism.
Featuring a continuous time-line, in depth side-bars on Islam's ideas, leaders and other topics, plus dozens of illustrations and quotations, 'The Rough Guide Chronicle' is a vital reference for travellers and students alike.
