A historical study of militant Islamic movements
Good Condition – Cover scuffing with some spotting to page edges and spotting on a front endpaper.
John F. Murphy Jr. traces militant movements associated with Islam from the early Arab conquests to the terrorist attacks of September 2001. The book distinguishes a global religion from the extremist ideologies that claim its authority, while examining historical conflicts, political grievances and organisations such as al-Qaeda. Written in the immediate aftermath of the attacks on the United States, it reflects the debates and language of that period. Readers are offered a broad, polemical survey of how religious ideas have been mobilised for warfare and political violence.
