'Andrew Hammond's work on late Ottoman exiles in Egypt fills a major gap in the study of modern Islamic thought. His meticulous and erudite analysis unravels their part in the fierce controversies surrounding Islamic Modernism and Salafism, and their influence on the Muslim Brotherhood and the Islamic party in Turkey.' Itzchak Weismann, University of Haifa
