Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. This new paperback is a Revised Edition with new preface. When scholars of Middle Eastern and Islamic history consider Mecca or its region, the Hijaz, they tend to focus on either the first century of Islam, when the city and region became briefly the centre of an incipient empire, or the twentieth, when the city was the centre of the Arab Revolt. More than a thousand years of history in between are relatively unknown. The pre-modern imperial cities of Damascus, Baghdad, and Cairo quickly superseded Mecca as centres of politics and long-distance trade, leaving Islams premier holy city with its singular role as the destination of the great pilgrimage. Of course, the religious significance of Mecca attracted the attention of neighbouring rulers, such as the Mamluk sultans of Cairo, who claimed sovereignty over the city to enhance their reputations as paramount Muslim rulers in the later medieval period. Using sources composed by late medieval Meccan scholars alongside the more well-known Mamluk material, this study presents the history of late medieval Mecca and the Sharifs who ruled the city by examining their relations with local and global forces: their alliances with local groups in the Hijaz, their relations with the imperial centre of Mamluk Cairo, and their reliance on the maritime trade of the Indian Ocean.

Using sources composed by late medieval Meccan scholars alongside the more well-known Mamluk material, this study presents the history of late medieval Mecca and the Sharifs who ruled the city.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the often misunderstood and misrepresented War of 1812, shedding light on the bravery and resourcefulness of American soldiers who fought against significant odds. The author challenges the prevailing narrative of the war, particularly the negative portrayal of American troops, arguing that their accomplishments have been unjustly overshadowed by misinformation and regional bias, especially from New England where opposition to the war was strong. The book explores the political landscape of the time, examining the factors that fueled opposition to the war, including partisan politics, economic concerns related to trade restrictions, and the growing tensions over slavery. The author also criticizes the shortcomings of the Madison administration and its impact on the war effort. Additionally, the book delves into the controversial Hartford Convention, a gathering of New England Federalists who opposed the war and contemplated secession. Through a meticulous examination of historical records and firsthand accounts, the author seeks to rectify the misconceptions surrounding the War of 1812 and to honor the sacrifices of those who fought for their nation's independence. Ultimately, this book serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of historical accuracy and the enduring legacy of the War of 1812 in shaping American identity and national pride.
