The Venture of Islam


The Venture of Islam, Volume 1: The Classical Age of Islam (Venture of Islam)
Author(s): Marshall G. S. Hodgson
Format: Book

Lapidus on steroids in some respects. Denser prose, less complete coverage (Africa and Southeast Asia in particular are slighted), and a bit dated in some places. But a more thorough political and particularly social history of the MENA than Lapidus.
