Description

Beginning in the early 1970s, militants revolted against the regimes in power throughout the Muslim world and exacerbated political conflicts everywhere.

Their jihad, or "Holy Struggle," aimed to establish a global Islamic state based solely on a strict interpretation of the Koran.

Religious ideology proved a cohesive force, gathering followers ranging from students and the young urban poor to middle-class professionals.

Jihad is the first extensive, in-depth attempt to follow the history and geography of this disturbing political-religious phenomenon.
