Traveling to archives in Tunisia, Morocco, France, and England, with visits to Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, and Spain, Nabil Matar assembles a rare history of Europe's rise to power as seen through the eyes of those who were later subjugated by it. Many historians of the Middle East believe Arabs and Muslims had no interest in Europeans during this period of Western discovery and empire, but in fact they were intensely preoccupied with the naval and industrial development, politics, and trade of European Christendom. Beginning in 1578 with a major Moroccan victory over a Portuguese invading army, Matar surveys this early modern period, in which Europeans and Muslims shared common cultural, commercial, and military goals. He concludes with a detailed history of the decline of Arab-Islamic power and the rise of Britain and France.
