Between Empires: Arabs, Romans, and Sasanians in Late Antiquity (Oxford Classical Monographs)
"This is an interesting work that helps fit the Arab elite groups of the Near East into the wider context of Roman "barbarian" relations. Fisher's arguments are sound and sophisticated." --Bryn Mawr Classical Review"I would heartily recommend this book for anyone interested in the  affairs and status of the Arabs in the sixth century. For anybody  interested in the history of Arabs immediately prior to the Rise of  Islam, it is vital reading." --Ian Hughes,UNRV.com
