Synopsis

Shatt al Arab Faith examines the profound religious and historical importance of the Shatt al Arab waterway, formed by the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, within Islamic history. It argues that the river is more than a geographical feature; it embodies the interwoven nature of faith, history, and geography. The book highlights how this region, central to the cradle of civilization in Mesopotamia, became a critical point for the evolution of Islamic beliefs and identity.

 
Intriguingly, the Shatt al Arab is not merely a physical location but a living testament embedded in the collective memory of the Islamic world. The book explores the river's significance through historical narratives, diverse religious practices, and its modern-day importance to Islamic identity. It traces the river's presence in early Islamic texts, examines rituals and beliefs associated with it, and investigates its role in contemporary geopolitical challenges.

 
The approach combines historical analysis with contemporary relevance, offering insights into how the past shapes the present. The book progresses from introducing the geographical and religious context to delving into specific historical periods, religious practices, and the river's symbolic role, drawing from diverse sources like historical texts, travelogues, and oral histories.

    Vietnam - A War Lost and Won

    Vietnam was the longest war in American history. US ground troops and their Australian, New Zealand and Korean allies were committed there for eight long years. In all, the American commitment in Southeast Asia lasted 15 years. During that time over 46,000 US servicemen died in battle. The Australian and New Zealand troops who fought there lost 496 dead and 2,398 wounded. But these figures pale beside Vietnamese losses, which totalled over a million. 
     
    Vietnam was the first war America lost. It left the country bitterly divided. Many of the 2.7 million Americans who served there suffered psychologically for decades to come and the USA discovered that, for all its might and technological superiority, it could not defeat the ill-equipped peasant army of a small and fiercely determined enemy. 
     
    In this concise account, historian Nigel Cawthorne traces the conflict from its inception to its traumatic end. He looks at the political events that led to the war and examines its impact upon both the Americans and the Vietnamese, whose battle for the independence of their country was to leave lingering scars upon the American psyche. Vietnam: A War Lost and Won is an even-handed assessment of a conflict whose wounds would take a generation to heal.

  • Armenian Empire The: The History and Legacy of the Ancient Kingdom of Greater Armenia - cover

    Armenian Empire The: The History...

    During the reign of the Artaxiad dynasty, Armenia became a hub of trade and commerce, connecting the Silk Road and the Mediterranean world. The Armenian kings encouraged the development of agriculture, commerce, and arts, and the kingdom became renowned for its skilled artisans, writers, and philosophers. Of course, given its central location, the dynasty also faced numerous challenges, including repeated invasions by the Roman and Parthian empires, internal conflicts, and economic hardships. The dynasty’s resilience and adaptability enabled it to survive for nearly two centuries, leaving behind a rich cultural and political legacy that has endured in the region, even as its historical memory was overshadowed by its more powerful neighbors.  
    After the collapse of the Artaxiad dynasty (at the onset of the 1st century BCE), Rome and the kingdom of Parthia engaged in a competition for political influence in the vast territory of Greater Armenia. The Parthian Arshakunis endeavored to expel Rome from the region, aiming to establish the dominance of their own lineage. The political strategy devised by Parthian King Artabanus III, however, remained unrealized, as his sons Vorodes and Arshak I, who held the throne in Great Armenia, were deposed due to the intervention of the Roman Emperor Tiberius. By inciting the Alban, Georgian, and other neighboring tribes against the Armenians, Tiberius facilitated the ascendancy of Mithridates, the brother of Iberian King Pharasmanes, to the throne of Greater Armenia in the year 36.  
    This set the pattern by which the Roman Empire sought to preserve its influence in Greater Armenia by employing foreign kings as proxies. In contrast, the Armenian people and their rulers strived to emancipate themselves from Roman hegemony and the dominance of their allies.

    The burial practices of ancient Egypt evolved significantly over millennia, reflecting changes in religious beliefs, social structures, and technological advancements. These practices were rooted in the belief in an afterlife, where the preservation of the body and the provision of necessary items were vital. From simple pit burials to grand pyramid constructions, the evolution of Egyptian burial customs offers valuable insights into the cultural and spiritual life of the civilization. 
    In the Predynastic period, burial customs were relatively simple, consisting of shallow pits in the desert sand. The dry, arid environment naturally mummified the bodies, preserving them for millennia. These early graves often contained personal belongings, such as pottery, jewelry, and tools, indicating a belief in a life beyond death. The positioning of the bodies, typically in a fetal position, also suggests a symbolic return to the womb, possibly signifying rebirth. 
    As Egypt unified and entered the Early Dynastic period, burial practices became more elaborate. The development of mastabas marked a significant shift in tomb architecture. These rectangular structures, made of mudbrick or stone, featured underground burial chambers and an above-ground offering chapel. Mastabas were primarily used by the elite, symbolizing their status and wealth. The inclusion of false doors and serdab chambers, which housed statues of the deceased, reflected the belief that the soul could interact with the living through offerings and rituals.
