Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'Notes on Akka and Its Defences Under Ibrahim Pasha' provides a detailed historical and technical overview of the fortifications of the city of Acre (Akka) during the pivotal military campaigns of the 19th century. Written by the historian Asad Rustum, this study focuses on the defensive measures implemented under the leadership of Ibrahim Pasha, whose rule and military strategy significantly impacted the geopolitical landscape of the Levant.The work examines the strategic importance of Akka as a coastal stronghold and details the architectural and engineering efforts required to sustain its defenses against contemporary naval and land-based threats. Rustum analyzes the intersection of military strategy, engineering, and regional politics, offering a clear window into the challenges faced during the conflicts between Egyptian and Ottoman forces. The text serves as a valuable resource for understanding the evolution of siege warfare and defensive architecture in the Eastern Mediterranean during a period of modernization.For scholars of military history and Middle Eastern studies, 'Notes on Akka and Its Defences Under Ibrahim Pasha' offers a precise look at the logistical and tactical realities of the era. It emphasizes the historical value of the city's physical structures and their role in the broader narrative of 19th-century military engagement and territorial control.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Beirut, American Press,1930. Modern cloth., IX, 159 pp. Arabic with English introduction. In good condition.

First edition, with the bookplate of Christopher Henry Oldham Scaife (1900-1988), a fellow academic at the American University of Beirut. This collection of introductory essays examines the pre-Islamic era through to the 1940s. Chapters were contributed by prominent researchers such as Michael Jan de Goeje, Reynold A. Nicholson, H. A. R. Gibb, and Jurji Zaydan. This volume is an enlarged version of Zurayk's Provisional Reading in the Medieval History of the Near East (1934), with essays covering a variety of topics such as the Orthodox Caliphates, the Crusades, the Mamluk Sultanate, Umayyad Spain, the fall of the Ottoman Empire, and Wahhabism. By embracing "not only the political, but also the economic, social and intellectual aspects of the history of the Arabs", the editors encourage "the student to look at the problems of history from many points of view and, as a consequence, to reach a more impartial and balanced attitude towards the past" (p. i). We have identified copies in grey wrappers with a dated title page and ones in orange wrappers with an undated title page. No priority has been established. Provenance: Professor Scaife taught at the Department of English Language and Literature at both the University of Cairo (then called Fu'ad al-Awwal University) and the American University of Beirut. He served as chairman of the department in the latter from 1957 to 1966. In his early career he worked as assistant editor of the Egyptian Gazette and in later years published translations of C. P.
