520 Here is the first panoptic history of the long struggle
between the Christian West and Islam. In this dazzlingly
written, acutely nuanced account, Andrew Wheatcroft tracks
a deep fault line of animosity between civilizations. He
begins with a stunning account of the Battle of Lepanto in
1571, then turns to the main zones of conflict: Spain,
from which the descendants of the Moors were eventually
expelled; the Middle East, where Crusaders and Muslims
clashed for years; and the Balkans, where distant memories
spurred atrocities even into the twentieth century.
Throughout, Wheatcroft delves beneath stereotypes, looking
incisively at how images, ideas, language, and technology
(from the printing press to the Internet), as well as
politics, religion, and conquest, have allowed each side
to demonize the other, revive old grievances, and fuel
across centuries a seemingly unquenchable enmity. Finally,
Wheatcroft tells how this fraught history led to our
present maelstrom. We cannot, he argues, come to terms
with today's perplexing animosities without confronting
this dark past.
