Résumé
The Red Sea Crusade: The Aksumite Invasion of Arabia (525 AD)In 525 AD, King Kaleb of Aksum launched one of late antiquity's most ambitious military expeditions, crossing the Red Sea with over one hundred ships to avenge the massacre of Christians in the Arabian city of Najran. This meticulously researched narrative chronicles how a horrific persecution by the Jewish king Dhu Nuwas triggered an international crisis that drew the Byzantine and Persian empires into a proxy war fought on Arabian soil.
Through vivid storytelling grounded in historical sources, the book follows Kaleb's triumphant conquest, the subsequent rebellion of his general Abraha who established an independent Christian kingdom in Yemen, and the eventual Persian invasion that ended Aksumite influence forever. The narrative explores how these dramatic events, preserved in both Christian hagiography and Islamic tradition, shaped the religious landscape of Arabia on the eve of Islam's emergence.
From battlefield accounts to diplomatic intrigue to Kaleb's remarkable transformation from warrior-king to ascetic saint, this book illuminates a pivotal moment when African power projection, religious conflict, and great power rivalry intersected to reshape the ancient world.
