This review is from: The Abbas Pasha Manuscript: And Horses and Horsemen of Arabia and Egypt During the Time of Abbas Pa Sha, 1800-1860 (Hardcover)

Anyone who cares about Arabian horses, especially the Egyptian type, just has to read this book. It tells a lot about how the breed came to be and is illustrated beautifully. It is not leasurely reading because it does take you back in time and into a complete different world than ours is today. Add too that that it is a complete different culture altogether and you'll enjoy every bit of the book. I truely recommend this book to all of you Arabian horse lovers. Maybe it is helpfull to learn a bit about Islam culture before reading this book so you can understand the culture even better.
