About the book

For many centuries, Islam was the world's greatest, most open, enlightened, creative and powerful civilization, and then everything changed, as the previously despised West won victory after victory, first on the battlefield and in the marketplace, then in almost every aspect of public and even private life. Bernard Lewis examines the anguished reaction of the Islamic world as it tried to understand why things had changed, and he provides a portrait of a culture in turmoil.
