| Summary | "Moslem and Frank; or, Charles Martel and the Rescue of Europe from the Threatened Yoke of the Saracens" by G. L. M. Strauss is a historical account written in the mid-19th century. The work delves into the significant historical figures and events surrounding the interactions between the Islamic forces and Christian Europe, focusing particularly on Charles Martel and his role in the Battle of Tours. The narrative likely explores themes of cultural conflict, military strategy, and the fight for European sovereignty against external threats. At the start of the text, the author outlines the geographical and historical context of Arabia, detailing the environmental characteristics, the indigenous people known as the Arabians, and their origins. The narrative introduces readers to the life and doctrine of Mohammed, analyzing the rise of Islam amid the various tribes and the complex interplay of cultural and religious dynamics that shaped the region. This engaging opening serves as a foundational exploration of how these elements set the stage for the historical events that would follow, including the conquests and movements that would eventually involve Charles Martel in the defense of Europe.
