A landmark study of the rise of Islamic extremism, Jihad follows
the history and spread of this new political-religious phenomenon
from its beginnings as a militant rebellion in the Middle East
during the 1970s to its culmination in a devastating onslaught on
the West in 2001. Gilles Kepel explains how their jihad – or
'Holy Struggle' – aimed to establish a global Islamic state based
solely on a strict interpretation of the Qur'an clashes with the
values of Western democracies. Kepel’s exploration of Jihadism is
informed by his journeys throughout the Muslim world to gather
documents, interviews and archival material inaccessible to most
scholars.
