Summary

No topic has gripped the public imagination so dramatically as the spectre of global jihadism. While much has been said about the way jihadists behave, their ideology remains poorly understood.

Shiraz Maher charts the intellectual underpinnings of Salafi-jihadism from its origins in the mountains of the Hindu Kush to the jihadist insurgencies of the 1990s and the 9/11 wars. His groundbreaking introduction to Salafi-jihadism recalibrates our understanding of the ideas underpinning one of the most destructive political philosophies of our time.

Fascinating & relevant

This book provides an in-depth overview of Salafi Jihadism. Worth listening to if you already have a good understanding of the nuances between mainstream Islam, Islamism and Salafism.
