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.
