Yemen Editorial Review
"The Throne of Adulis: Red Sea Wars on the Eve of Islam" is a book that delves into the wars between the Christian Kingdom of Abyssinia and the Jewish Kingdom of Southern Arabia in the pre-Islamic era. The author, Bowersock, provides a wealth of historical material, shedding light on these conflicts and their role as proxies in the larger wars of the time. This book offers valuable insight into the cultural and religious milieu of pre-Islamic Arabia. While the content is engaging and informative, some readers found the structure of the book to be confusing. The Constant back-and-forth between introductions and explanations made it difficult to follow a cohesive narrative. However, by the end of the book, the author manages to tie the threads together, grounding the work in a more coherent manner. One criticism of the book is that it contains extraneous material that adds little to the main topic. The author delves into discussions about the pen name of "Cosmas Indicopleutes" and his potential trade voyages to India, which some readers found to be padding. Despite this, those interested in the religious and cultural landscape of pre-Islamic Arabia found the book to be worth reading. Overall, "The Throne of Adulis: Red Sea Wars on the Eve of Islam" is a historical tour de force, providing insight into a relatively obscure corner of history. It is an enjoyable read for both amateur and professional historians, offering a different perspective on the birth of Islam.
