BOOK REVIEW: East/West: A Twenty-Five Century War

Abstract

French historian and researcher Thierry Camous's book titled "East/West: A Twenty-Five Century War" is a comprehensive study that examines the struggle of two different civilizations, separated as east and west, through the wars they have fought against each other. In his work, Camous questions the approaches that evaluate the struggle between Eastern and Western civilizations in the context of religious wars or Islam-West, criticizing Samuel Huntington's famous "clash of civilizations paradigm".
