A fascinating account of the fifty years of major conquests that established the vast Arabian empire shortly after Muhammad’s death, changing the Middle East forever.

This record of the history of Arabian expansion and its Bedouin people is the perfect read for fans of T.E. Lawrence, Hugh Kennedy, Justin Marozzi, and Robert G. Hoyland.

For the Bedouin tribes of Central Arabia, the years A.D. 630 to A.D. 680 were transformative as, through their religious fervour and courage, they established one of the greatest empires in all history, second only to the achievements of Alexander the Great. Their scope and success were all the more remarkable for the lack of a trained, disciplined army or any central organisation, and despite the existence of tribal divisions and the personal ambitions of this warlike people.

Using his deep personal understanding of the history and characteristics of the Bedouin people, gained during time living amongst them, original Arabic sources, and European translations, Glubb provides an insightful and thought-provoking read.

‘Among the most astonishing and significant events in human history.’ — Times Literary Supplement

‘Sir John Glubb’s unique insight into Arab mentality has enabled him to write a fascinating account of his subject.’ — The Sunday Telegraph

'A scholarly work by Sir John Glubb whose obvious fascination with his subject transforms the driest and dustiest desert war into a thing of excitement and suspense' — Evening News

Praise for John Bagot Glubb’s Great Arab History:
‘Sir John Glubb … as always a clear guide, illuminating history by the fruits of his own experience.’ — The Times

‘Few men are better qualified to bring such a period to life.’ — The Sunday Times
