The authors reveal the Mediterranean as an integrated space that extended far beyond this sea's shores to involve Muslims, Christians, Jews, and others in complex patterns of conflict and cooperation. This highly readable tour-de-force of synthesis and analysis is bound to become a classic.\"--Amy G.
