About the Book

Jihad is the first comprehensive attempt to follow the history and spread of this new political-religious phenomenon. Kepel has travelled throughout the Muslim world gathering documents, interviews, and archival materials inaccessible to most scholars, in order to provide a full understanding of the scope of Islamist movements, their past, their present and their future direction. As we confront the escalated threat of terrorism, Gilles Kepel helps us make sense of the ominous reality of jihad today.

Review :
'This is a landmark book, a work of breadth and scope and scholarship, and genuine imaginative powers. It should be the standard work on political Islam.' - Fouad Ajami, author of Dream Palace of the Arabs: A Generation's Odyssey "simply excellent" - Malise Ruthven, Prospect 'Kepel's work... spans the world of political Islam, from the assassination of Egypt's President Anwar Sadat, to the establishment of Osama bin Laden's terrorist network in Afghanistan. He has the knack of explaining how events in one part of the Islamic world have affected developments elsewhere.' -Anton La Guardia, Telegraph "a concentrated multidimensional study... indispensable to anyone serious about understanding a troubled political-religious movement" - Frank Shouldice, Irish Independent
