A History of the Arab Peoples by Albert Hourani

3.0

This is a very broad overview of the history of the Arab people from Muhammad to modern day (publish date was in the early 90’s). The coverage varies widely, from rough dates and places, to a lot of anecdotal information on the social makeup of Arab society from the 7th century to the modern day. It’s a bit too broad to overly insightful but is slightly more useful than a classroom textbook.
