<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Despite recent events in the Middle East, the history of the Arabs is little known to most Westerners even though Western culture has been deeply influened by Aribic history. Hitti, one of the world's leading historians of the Arabic-speaking people, gives an ideal introduction to their history and culture.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>From the ancient cultures of the Middle East have sprung three of the world's major religions, outstanding accomplishments in literature and science, and seemingly never-ending conflict - compounded now not only by geopolitics, but by the international hunger for oil and the web of global terrorism. <p/>But who are the Arabs, these remarkable people who have accomplished so much and who continue to both fascinate and confront the West? <p/>Philip K. Hitti's eloquent short history is an acknowledged classic offering the best and quickest grasp of Arab history and culture. <p/>Now with a new introduction by renowned MIT historian, Philip Khoury.
