Step into the dawn of Islamic Iberia, where conquest, culture, and coexistence forged one of history's most dazzling civilizations. In The Foundations: A History of Al-Andalus, the first volume of The Moorish Chronicles, historian Peter Houghton delivers a vivid, meticulously researched account of the Muslim conquest of the Iberian Peninsula in 711 CE and the rise of Al-Andalus, a society that shaped Spain for nearly eight centuries.
From Tariq ibn Ziyad's daring landing at Gibraltar to the collapse of the Visigothic kingdom, and from rivalries between Arab and Berber factions to the visionary reign of Abd al-Rahman I-the "Falcon of Quraysh"-this book traces how a fractured province evolved into a beacon of learning, architecture, and multicultural exchange.
Readers will explore:
Blending military history, cultural insight, and geopolitical analysis, The Foundations sets the stage for an epic two-part chronicle-continued in The Christian Kings-revealing how Spain's identity was forged in faith, ambition, and resilience. Ideal for readers of The Ornament of the World, SPQR, or The Crusades, this is history as a living drama of human triumph and fragility.
