Rezensionen
"A lucidly written and comparative portrayal of radical Islamist movements and doctrines in the Middle East and South Asia. Armajani offers an especially compelling portrayal of the emergence of al-Qa'ida and the Taliban."
--Juan E. Campo, University of California, Santa Barbara

"Rich and thorough Armajani explores the historical, intellectual and political contexts crucial to understanding contemporary Islamist political ideologies. Its comparative framework and comprehensive treatment recommends it as a valuable classroom resource."
--Monica M. Ringer, Amherst College
