The Arab and Berber conquest was followed by the establishment of a richly distinct culture in Andalusia, where for a while Muslim and Christian co-operated as often as they fought. The rise and fall of successive Islamic dynasties brought new invaders, fragmentation and disunity; and the growing Christian kingdoms to the north eventually doomed the amirate of Granada, the last Moorish bastion, which fell to the Castilians in 1492. The colourful armies of Western Islam are described and illustrated here in fascinating detail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eContents:\u003cbr\u003eThe Arab Conquest\u003cbr\u003eThe Armies of European Islam\u003cbr\u003eUmayyad navies in the Mediterranean and Atlantic\u003cbr\u003eThe Reconquista Begins\u003cbr\u003eThe Almoravids\u003cbr\u003eBerber armies and the saving of Andalusia\u003cbr\u003eThe Moorish Collapse\u003cbr\u003eGranada: The Last Bastion\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Osprey","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40520930459683,"sku":"9781855329645","price":26.5,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2514\/8624\/files\/DSC_8127.jpg?v=1721205532","url":"https:\/\/wardahbooks.live\/products\/the-moors-the-islamic-west-7th15th-centuries-ad","provider":"Wardah Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
