The Great Arab Conquests: How the Spread of Islam Changed the World We Live In by Hugh N. Kennedy is an account of how the spread of Islam changed the world, from Arabia to Spain and Central Asia.

Key themes include:

• The rise of Islam and the early caliphates

• Cities, law and learning
• How the Islamic world shaped the modern world
