A History of Islamic Societies

A History of Islamic Societies Author(s): Ira M. Lapidus Format: Book

Not concise, but a very good historical survey of Islam and Islamic societies. Generally well-written and generally good coverage of the entire Muslim world. Much more a political and social history of the Islamic world, as opposed to Farah, which is more a history of Islam as a religion. Good choice for a single-book purchase.
