This is an account of the origins, nature, and evolution of Islam. It is also an exploration of the cultures of the Middle East in which Islam originated 14 centuries ago and of the Arab, Persian and Turkish societies where it remains a powerful force. Islam and the cultures in which it arose are inseparably linked and, as the author shows, need to be understood in the context of each other.
