To some, Islamic Fundamentalism means the restoration of a true
religion. To others, it is a politics that stands apart from
capitalism and socialism. To many Westerners, it has come to
constitute a threat to established order and international
security. Holy Wars, first published in 1989, comprises a
non-partisan narrative that takes account of both the
socio-cultural values expressed in Fundamentalism, and its
political consequences. Dilip Hiro's starting point is that
fundamentalist forces have been active within Islam since the death
of the Prophet Muhammad. He presents the two major sects, Sunnis
and Shias, in this light. Hiro provides the background for an
understanding of what was taking place in Middle Eastern countries
such as Afghanistan, Libya, Egypt and Syria at the end of the
1980s. This is a comprehensive and readable work, of great
relevance and value to those with an interest in Middle Eastern
politics and history, and the growth of Islamic Fundamentalism.
