Summary:

First published in 1970, The Cambridge History of Islam is the most comprehensive and ambitious collaborative survey of Islamic history and civilisation yet to appear in English. On publication it was welcomed as a work useful both for reference and reading, for the general reader, students and specialist alike. The History has now been reprinted, with corrections, and for ease of handling the original two hardcover volumes have each been divided into two separate paperbacks. Volume 1B covers the history of the central Islamic lands from 1918 to the 1960s.

Contents:

v.1a. The central Islamic lands, from pre-Islamic times to the first World War.

v.1b. The central Islamic lands since 1918.

v.2a. The Indian sub-continent, South-east Asia, Africa and the Muslim west.

v.2b. Islamic society and civilization.

Notes:

Includes bibliographies.
