A chilling, fascinating, and nearly forgotten historical figure is
resurrected in this riveting work that links the fascism of the
last century with the terrorism of our own. Written with vigor and
extraordinary access to primary sources in several languages, Icon
of Evil is the definitive account of the man who, during World War
II, was called "the fuhrer of the Arab world" and whose ugly legacy
lives on today. With new and disturbing details, David G. Dalin and
John F. Rothmann show how al -Husseini ingratiated himself with his
hero, Adolf Hitler, becoming, with his blond hair and blue eyes, an
"honorary Aryan" while dreaming of being installed as Nazi leader
of the Middle East. Al-Husseini would later recruit more than
100,000 Muslims in Europe to fight in divisions of the Waffen- SS,
and obstruct negotiations with the Allies that might have allowed
four thousand Jewish children to escape to Palestine. Some believe
that al-Husseini even inspired Hitler to implement the Final
Solution. At war's end, al-Husseini escaped indictment at Nuremberg
and was harbored in France. Icon of Evil chronicles al-Husseini's
postwar relationships with such influential Islamic figures as the
radical theoretician Sayyid Qutb and Saddam Hussein's powerful
uncle General Khairallah Talfah and his crucial mentoring of the
young Yasser Ararat. Finally, it provides compelling evidence that
al-Husseini's actions and writings serve as inspirations today to
the leaders of Hamas, Hezbollah, and other terrorist organizations
pledged to destroy Israel and the United States.
