Description
In contrast to the "clash of civilizations" theory that sees Islam inevitably in conflict with the West, Crews reveals the remarkable ways in which Russia constructed an empire with broad Muslim support. As America and Western Europe debate how to secure the allegiances of their Muslim populations, Crews offers a critical historical perspective.
