The Great Arab Conquests by Hugh Kennedy: The Arabs were living in a very dilapidated condition in the deserts stretched far away with barren and desolate areas with little vegetation around. They were physically strong but morally and spiritually weak and vulnerable. They have neither the culture nor any significant civilization upon they can feel pride or boast of their culture. They were devoid of civilized restrains and restrictions. The great Arab Conquests is the memory of the wakefulness from the sound slumber of luxurious sleep.
They were divided into tribes and tribal pride was the cause of quarrels and wars between these tribes. These wars often continued for decades and cost a lot of lives. The only thing they were known for was the habit of taking revenge upon their enemies though everything was to be put on risk and stake. How the Spread of Islam Changed the World by Hugh Kennedy is great work to pay tribute to the conquests of the Muslims.
