Efraim Karsh is professor and head of the Mediterranean Studies Programme, King’s College, University of London.
"In Islamic Imperialism Efraim Karsh argues for the existence of an
Islamic imperial drive and traces it from Muhammad's time to
current Islamist aggressions. One can hardly imagine a thesis with
larger implications for prosecuting the war on terror."—Daniel
Pipes

“Only a shrewd and talented revisionist, a professor with curiosity
and nerve, could take on the clichés of Middle East scholarship and
insist that they be reconsidered. That describes Efraim Karsh, a
much-published and much-admired professor at the University of
London. His new book, Islamic Imperialism deserves serious
consideration by anyone who cares about this debate. He challenges
not only our favourite ideas about the Middle East but even our
notions of imperialism. . . . Karsh’s view of rising Islamic
imperialism chills the blood. Multiculturalism looks different
through the lens of his scholarship, and so does the future for
global politics.”—Robert Fulford, Canada National

"Karsh's lively, clearly written and well-researched account should
have an appeal beyond an academic audience. The crisp manner with
which he disposes of accepted wisdom will delight the reader. And
in laying to rest the victim theory, he restores a measure of
dignity to the Middle East."—Ralph Amelan, Jerusalem
