About this Event:
Historian Tom Holland chronicles the end of the ancient world ruled over by the Roman and Persian empires and the rise of Islam. In the sixth century, the Near East was divided between the two ancient empires, but 100 years later it was the Arabs that ruled. Holland examines how this happened. He uncovers the dramas and the horrors of this age and portrays the remarkable leaders who played a part in the transformation.
Holland is the author of three other acclaimed works of history, Rubicon, Persian Fire, and Millennium: The Ending of the World and the Forging of Christendom. He has also written a number of novels.
