Abstract:
"Since the Second World War, Islam and politics have combined to form a potent force known as Islamic fundamentalism. This force has, in recent years, grabbed the headlines as a new and grave threat to the West. Beverley Milton-Edwards analyses the roots and emergence of the new Islamic movements and the main thinkers that inspired them." "Islamic Fundamentalism since 1945 provides an authoritative account of the causes and diversity of this modern phenomenon, which affects nations throughout the world."--Jacket.
