A SUNDAY TIMES AND TLS BOOK OF THE YEAR

“Masterly and brilliant”―Simon Sebag Montefiore

“A book of vast scope and stunning insight.”―Anthony Sattin, Spectator

“Commanding erudition and a swashbuckling style define this history of the Arabs”―Justin Marozzi, Sunday Times

This kaleidoscopic book covers almost 3,000 years of Arab history and shines a mild at the footloose Arab peoples and tribes who conquered lands and disseminated their language and culture over vast distances. Tracing this process to the origins of the Arabic language, relatively than the arrival of Islam, Tim Mackintosh-Smith begins his narrative more than a thousand years before Muhammad and makes a speciality of how Arabic, both spoken and written, has functioned as an important source of shared cultural identity over the millennia.

Mackintosh-Smith finds how linguistic developments―from pre-Islamic poetry to the expansion of script, Muhammad’s use of writing, and the later problems of printing Arabic―have helped and hindered the progress of Arab history, and investigates how, even in nowadays’s politically fractured post–Arab Spring environment, Arabic itself remains to be a source of unity and disunity.
