Some consider the temporal division between the past and the future, seeing the present as a continuous flow that cannot be grasped. Thus, the only way to anticipate the future is by deeply understanding the past. A future without a past is unreliable; therefore, Emir Shakib Arslan believes that history must be etched in minds before books, written in vision before on paper, as it is essential for the preservation and cohesion of nations, both morally and materially.

A nation cannot exist independently without retaining its history and being aware of its past. In this book, History of Arab Invasions in Switzerland, Italy, and France, Arslan meticulously records significant historical events of Arab invasions in France, Italy, Switzerland, and Mediterranean islands.
