Infidels by Andrew Wheatcroft
A History of the Conflict Between Christendom and Islam
A narrative history of the centuries-long encounter between Christian Europe and the Muslim world, tracing conflicts from the Crusades and Reconquista to Lepanto, Vienna, and modern imperial entanglements. It explores how each side fashioned the other as a threatening “infidel” through propaganda, art, and atrocity tales, while also acknowledging trade, coexistence, and cultural exchange. The result is a study of how fear, myth, and memory forged enduring identities that continue to shape contemporary politics and rhetoric.
