Its 302 pages contain 11 chapters with an introduction (chapter 1), epilogue (chapter 11), index, and bibliography.

Part one contains 3 chapters that deal with the various scientific and religious contributions that the Arabs and their Semitic ancestors made available to the West. These include: the contributions of the ancient civilizations of the Fertile Crescent to ancient Greece and Rome (chapter 2); the contributions of the three Semitic religions to the West and to the rest of the world (chapter 3); and the various contributions of Arab civilization to the European Renaissance (chapter 4).
Part two contains 6 chapters that deal with various brutal atrocities inflicted by the imperialist West on the Arabs during the entire second millennium. These include: the Crusades (chapter 5); the colonization and dismemberment of the Arab nation (chapter 6); the installment and protection of Arab puppet regimes (chapter 7); the theft of Palestine by Western Zionists at the tragic expense of its native Arabs (chapter 8); Israeli wars against the Arabs since 1948 (chapter 9); and US imperialist hegemony over the Arab world as well its wars on Libya and Iraq (chapter 10).
