Abdallah Azzam, the Palestinian cleric who led the mobilization of
Arab fighters to Afghanistan in the 1980s, played a crucial role in
the internationalization of the jihadi movement. Killed in
mysterious circumstances in 1989 in Peshawar, Pakistan, he remains
one of the most influential jihadi ideologues of all time. Here, in
the first in-depth biography of Azzam, Thomas Hegghammer explains
how Azzam came to play this role and why jihadism went global at
this particular time. It traces Azzam's extraordinary life journey
from a West Bank village to the battlefields of Afghanistan,
telling the story of a man who knew all the leading Islamists of
his time and frequented presidents, CIA agents, and Cat Stevens the
pop star. It is, however, also a story of displacement, exclusion,
and repression that suggests that jihadism went global for
fundamentally local reasons.
