The Cross and the Crescent: The Dramatic Story of the Earliest Encounters Between Christians and Muslims - Softcover
A short, brilliant account of the relations between Islam and Christianity from Muhammad to the Reformation. Fletcher argues that though there were trading and cultural interactions between Islam and Christianity during the period when Arabs controlled most of the Mediterranean world, neither side was remotely interested in the religion of the other. "Christian and Moslem lived side by side in a state of mutual religious aversion. Given these circumstances, if religious passions were to be stirred up, confrontation would probably be violent." He shows how religious misunderstanding and antagonism between "the peoples of the book" has been present since their earliest encounters.

Review:
"A dazzling sprint past the turf wars of Rome and Constantinople, Sunnis and Shi'ites... Genghis Khan and Prester John." --John Leonard, Harper's
Synopsis:
A short account of the relations between Islam and Christianity from Mohammed to the reformation by England's leading mediaeval historian. Fletcher argues that though there were trading and cultural interactions between Islam and Christianity during the period when Arabs controlled most of the mediterranean world, neither side was remotely interested in the religion of the other. Christian and Moslem lived side by side in a state of mutual religious aversion. Given these circumstances, if religious passions were to be stirred up, confrontation would probably be violent. He shows how religious misunderstanding and antagonism between the peoples of the book have been present since their earliest encounters.
