Description
This revised and updated guide to Hamas provides a comprehensive overview of the organisation's history, key beliefs, and political agenda. Khaled Hroub, leading expert and Cambridge academic, offers a clear and concise explanation of the reasons behind Hamas's popularity, as well as its complex relationships with other groups and nations.
With a focus on the major events since the January 2006 elections, including the conflict with Fatah and Israel's offensive in Gaza at the end of 2008, this book provides a unique perspective on one of the most contentious issues in modern politics. By cutting through the often-missing facts in conventional news reports, Hroub offers a refreshing insight into the heart of Hamas.
