In fact, strip his biography of the prodigies which Asiatic writers have ever affected, and What remains may confidently defy incredulity itself.At the period of Mohammed's birth a great part of Arabia was under a foreign yoke; all the northern portion of Arabia Petraea, as well as Syria, Palestine and Egypt.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Pick up a newspaper or magazine, or turn on the radio or television, and the words Middle East leap out. People around the globe are becoming familiar with places such as Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, and Israel, and not always in a positive sense. These are global hot spots, where political and social developments are watched very closely. But what about Babylon, Persia, and the Ottoman Empire? Once, long ago, these names caught people s attention. What happened in these places changed the lives of millions of men, women, and children. Yet today, they are usually ignored or simply forgotten. The great empires and kingdoms of the ancient Middle East are overlooked and given up for dead. In this book, however, they all live again. The conquests and achievements of Middle Eastern leaders are revived as lost worlds become, once more, proud places in time.

In 2002 the fiftieth event was held and it is possible that it may be the last. On the occasion of that anniversary, Reinhard Klein, in association with former co-driver John Davenport, compiled this massive work containing more than 300 pages. More than two years work has gone into its compilation. The highlight of this top-quality work is the photography. As well as the very best Reinhard Klein and McKlein shots, this book offers dozens of pictures from the private files of former participants and from the archives of Kenya's local newspapers, the Daily Nation and the East African Standard. Special features of this bilingual book are complete entry lists and results from all 50 years. There is also a photographic section devoted to the various elements that represent the diversity of the Safari Rally. These include the wildlife, the scenery, the roads, the people, the rally teams and some of those special moments where only a picture can convey the full meaning.

After more than 25 years, double World Rally Champion, Walter Röhrl, is still fascinated by the Audi Quattro. No other car has shaped and changed rallying more than the silver bullet with turbocharging and four-wheel-drive coming from Ingolstadt. Already on its World Rally Championship debut at Monte Carlo in 1981, the Quattro turned the world of rallying upside down. After only ten snow-covered kilometres of the first special stage, Hannu Mikkola in the Quattro had caught and passed the helpless Lancia Stratos of Bernard Darniche, the winning combination in 1979. Superb traction and seemingly limitless power were the keys to its success that made the Quattro legendary and helped Audi to capture the hearts of thousands of fans. Author John Davenport, a former rally co-driver and team manager, experienced that era at first hand and narrates - rally by rally - the complete history of the Audi Quattro. How four-wheel-drive revolutionized the rally world, how Michèle Mouton put the fear of God into manhood, and how Walter Röhrl made himself immortal in the Sport Quattro E2. The world-famous rally photographer Reinhard Klein followed the Quattro revolution around the globe and captured the mood of those days in an unforgettable way. In this high-quality book, he shows his most beautiful - some of them previously unpublished - pictures. A presentation of all the rally cars that Audi has launched - from the Audi 80 to the Quattros and the Coupé S2 - as well as a comprehensive statistics section - make Audi Quattro - the Rally History a book that everyone will want on their shelf.

After featuring the legendary eras of Group B and Group 4 rallying, McKlein Publishing has now dedicated a book to the early years of the sport. "Group 2 – The genesis of world rallying" is a comprehensive review of the 1950s and 1960s. Then rallying was a big adventure, capable of capturing the imagination and enthusiasm of a Europe that was rediscovering its romance with the motorcar. Rallies like the Monte Carlo, the Liège-Rome-Liège, the Acropolis, the RAC and the Rallye des Alpes were the jewels in the diadem of the sport. And new challenges arose like the East African Safari, the 1000 Lakes and the Tour de Corse. All these events tested the crews that entered them to the very limits of speed and endurance. If the cars were less sophisticated than those we are familiar with in the 21st century, the skills to drive them quickly were perhaps of a higher order. Certainly the stars of rallying from the period of this book are still well-known names sixty years later--for example, Erik Carlsson, Timo Mäkinen, Paddy Hopkirk, Eugen Böhringer, Jean-Pierre Nicolas and Pat Moss. The same applies to the legendary cars that changed the sport such as the Mercedes 220SEb, Mini Cooper, Porsche 911, Lancia Fulvia and Alpine-Renault A110. "Group 2--The genesis of world rallying" is the first complete review of the sport in the period 1946 to 1972. Over 256 pages, author John Davenport, who was part of that era as a co-driver and journalist, tells the story of the evolution of a sport from being largely something for amateurs to one that was fully professional. It was a time of growth, excitement and adventure and is covered here by comprehensive annual reviews, interesting features--such as a report on the great long distance rallies of that era--and results from all rounds of the European Championship and the International Championship for Makes. All this is accompanied by the greatest McKlein images from that era.
