Description
Shiraz Maher's groundbreaking study of salafi-jihadism provides a comprehensive understanding of the intellectual underpinnings of this destructive political philosophy.
From its origins in the Hindu Kush to the jihadist insurgencies of the 1990s and the 9/11 wars, Maher charts the evolution of the key ideas behind salafi-jihadism, recalibrating our understanding of this complex and often misunderstood ideology.
This authoritative account is a worthwhile read for anyone seeking to understand the roots of global jihadism and its ongoing impact on international relations.
