In this definitive history of the modern Arab world, award-winning historian Eugene Rogan draws extensively on Arab sources and texts to place the Arab experience in its crucial historical context for the first time. Tracing five centuries of Arab history, Rogan reveals that there was an age when the Arabs set the rules for the rest of the world. Today, however, the Arab world's sense of subjection to external powers carries vast consequences for both the region and Westerners who attempt to control it.
Updated with a new epilogue, The Arabs is an invaluable, groundbreaking work of history.

Where does The Arabs rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
This is one of the most captivating books I've listened to. I was skeptical about a 27 hour long book but I truly wanted this book to be even longer.The storyline was so well done and fair. Zooming in on individual stories and zooming back out to the larger macro-political view.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Despite this being factual based, the book captured many "character" like stories throughout. For example, the story of Gamal Abdel Nasser and Muhammad Ali.If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
Glimpse of hope in a dark past.Any additional comments?
Would have loved to hear about some of the major revolutions around the Arab world such as Omar Al Moukhtar and Sultan Basha Al Atrach but the book had so much to offer to offset this.Amazing capturing storyline!

Was there no other voice actors who are capable of basic Arabic pronunciation to take on a project like this?
I couldn’t help but feel spited by the fact that a book about Arabs and their history was read by a guy who flawlessly pronounced every French name but nuked all Arabic names. I mean ffs he even stumbled on the most basic city names.
It made me feel like a foreigner listening to my own story. Please do better next time.
