Opis

The much-awaited book about Abdallah Azzam, one of the jihadi movement's most important figures. It explains why jihadism went international in the 1980s, paving the way for the events of 9/11. Azzam's extraordinary life story makes for compelling reading and should appeal to readers far outside specialist circles.

Recenzje

'Hegghammer's book is a must read for anyone who wants to understand the origins of the global jihad movement and the soil from which al-Qaeda sprung.' A. J. Caschetta, Middle East Quarterly
