Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Transactions of the Royal Historical Society, Vol. 3 Ever since recorded history begins, and probably for untold centuries before, a never-ending strife between the East and the West has been in progress, and the tide of conquest and invasion has been mounting eastward or westward, only to reach its high-water mark, stand still for a moment, and then commence slowly or quickly ta retire. The writers of the old classical world of antiquity saw this clearly enough. Herodotus, the father of all European historians, began his famous book with a tale of legendary raids and counter-raids between Europe and Asia, and traced down from them the great war of Greek and Persian which had formed the all-engrossing interest of his own youth. Different nations have led the attack in different ages: the Greek, the Roman, the Frankish Crusader, last of all the British power, on the one side: the Persian, the Saracen, the Tartar, and the Ottoman Turk on the other.
