that the people have lived for centuries on a diet and with
lack of comforts that make the rigors of campaigning seem~e\
preferable, in many cases, to life at home. The gO\'ernmen

Narl'ig. New York: Ziff-Davis Publishing Company, 194
326 Pages; $3.00.
\Vythe \Villiams' radio programs, in which he has made so

216 Pages; Index. $2.00.
This book is a short version of Mr. Hitti's book, The His!
of the Arabs. It relates, in condensed form, the ancient
medieval history of the people whose conquests and scien.
discoveries had much to do with geography and science as
know it today. Now, with Americans meeting Arabs in Af'
the 1\liddle East, and in other parts of the globe, it is importa
that we learn something about these Moslems, whose im
