Summary

While academic studies of Islamism abound, none compares to Zakaria's thorough inquiry into the nature of contemporary Islamism, its theological foundations and political practices. A well-known Egyptian philosopher and a leading Arab intellectual, Zakaria is in the perfect position to shoulder this important task of criticism.
