Some explanation may seem to be needed for the issue of yet another book on the Islamic world of to-day. Since Lothrop Stoddard published in 1921 his far-sighted study of The New World of Islam, the output of books and pamphlets on this subject has increased by leaps and bounds. Not to speak of works in the Islamic languages themselves and in the lesser-known languages of Europe, the student of the Mosleum East has an embarrassing choice of books by Jung, Valyi, Meyerhof, Zwemer, O'Leary, Kohn, Hartmann, and many others, together with a host of monographs on contemporary movements in the separate Moslem lands.
