Welcome to IOU Digital Library

This book provides a concise yet sweeping historical survey of the long-standing conflict between Christian and Muslim states and societies, beginning with the early Arab conquests in the 7th century, through the Crusades and Ottoman era, and up to modern, 20th- and 21st-century clashes — including colonialism, the Iranian revolution, and contemporary wars in the Middle East. Jamieson traces how religious, political, and cultural dynamics evolved over more than a millennium, showing how Christianity and Islam — and their adherents — shaped and were shaped by power, identity, and conflict across Eurasia and beyond.
