Greg Fisher is Assistant Professor of Greek and Roman Studies at Carleton University in Ottawa, where he teaches courses on Rome and the barbarians, the Near East, and Roman imperial history.
I would heartily recommend this book for anyone interested in the
affairs and status of the Arabs in the sixth century. For anybody
interested in the history of the Arabs immediately prior to the
Rise of Islam, it is vital reading
*UNRV Website, Ian Hughes*
Greg Fisher provides a fresh contribution to an historical problem
of considerable interest, that of the identity, role, and place of
the Arabs in contact with the Roman and Sasanian empires before the
advent of Islam ... the author offers readers a masterful synthesis
... This is a work of advanced scholarship for advanced
scholars.
*CHOICE*
Between Empires provides a compact, cogent introduction to, and
explanation of, Rome's relationship with its Arab clients. It
should be in every serious research library.
*Matthew P. Canepa, sehepunkte*
Fisher has made a valuable contribution to the various historical
debates he has joined, not least through his surveys, with
bibliographical references, of the current state of
scholarship.

African Studies*
