Saudi Arabia, homeland of Osama bin Laden and many 9/11 hijackers,
is widely considered to be the heartland of radical Islamism. For
decades, the conservative and oil-rich kingdom contributed
recruits, ideologues and money to jihadi groups worldwide. Yet
Islamism within Saudi Arabia itself remains poorly understood. Why
has Saudi Arabia produced so many militants? Has the Saudi
government supported violent groups? How strong is al-Qaida's
foothold in the kingdom and does it threaten the regime? Why did
Bin Laden not launch a campaign there until 2003? This 2010 book
presents the first ever history of Saudi jihadism based on
extensive fieldwork in the kingdom and primary sources in Arabic.
It offers a powerful explanation for the rise of Islamist militancy
in Saudi Arabia and sheds crucial new light on the history of the
global jihadist movement.
