Byzantine Libya and the March of the Arabs Towards the West of North Africa

A detailed study of Byzantine Africa and its conquest by the Arabs beginning in 641/642. Professor Christides assesses the political situation on the eve of the first Arab raid, the raids themselves and the sources available for studying them, as well as the causes and consequences of the Byzantine loss of North Africa and the integration of Arabic and Islamic cultures. The study focuses primarily on the regions of Cyrenaica, Tripolitania and Fezzan (roughly modern-day Libya).Christides, Vassilios is the author of 'Byzantine Libya and the March of the Arabs Towards the West of North Africa', published 2000 under ISBN 9781841711331 and ISBN 1841711330.
