The third volume of The History of Islam looks at the expansion of Islam in Africa, South East Asia, China and India. The decline of the Ottomans and their gradual removal from Europe is also dealt with in detail. The causes of such decline and the gradual dismemberment of the Empire are of particular focus. Finally this volume looks at the colonial period, putting particular emphasis on the sharp contrast between Western rhetoric that justifies colonisation as a civilising mission and reality on the ground which shows, instead, the opposite: the devastation of colonised societies.This work includes maps and most of all pictures that can tell more than this author (or any other author for that matter) can do.
