      abstract = {For centuries, the world of Islam was in the forefront of  human achievement--the foremost military and economic power  in the world, the leader in the arts and sciences of  civilization. Christian Europe was seen as an outer  darkness of barbarism and unbelief from which there was  nothing to learn or to fear. And then everything changed.  The West won victory after victory, first on the  battlefield and then in the marketplace. In this volume,  Bernard Lewis, a renowned authority on Islamic affairs,  examines the anguished reaction of the Islamic world as it  tried to make sense of how it had been overtaken,  overshadowed, and dominated by the West. In a fascinating  portrait of a culture in turmoil, Lewis shows how the  Middle East turned its attention to understanding European  weaponry, industry, government, education, and culture. In  this landmark volume, an authority on the Middle East  examines the anguished reaction of the Islamic world as it  tries to understand why things have changed, how they have  been overtaken, overshadowed, and to an increasing extent  dominated by the West. 15 illustrations.
