Editor's Note:
In his first book since What Went Wrong? Bernard Lewis examines the historical roots of the resentments that dominate the Islamic world today & that are increasingly being expressed in acts of terrorism. He looks at the theological origins of political Islam & takes us thru the rise of militant Islam in Iran, Egypt & Saudi Arabia, examining the impact of radical Wahhabi proselytizing & Saudi oil money, on the rest of the Islamic world. The Crisis of Islam ranges widely thru 13 centuries of history, but in particular it charts the key events of the 20th century leading up to the violent confrontations of today: the creation of Israel, the Cold War, the Iranian Revolution, the Soviet defeat in Afghanistan, the Gulf War & the 9/11 attacks. While hostility toward the West has a long & varied history in the lands of Islam, its current concentration on America is new. So too is the cult of the suicide bomber. Brilliantly disentangling the crosscurrents of Middle Eastern history from the rhetoric of its manipulators, Lewis helps us understand the reasons for the increasingly dogmatic rejection of modernity by many in the Muslim world in favor of a return to a sacred past. Based on his George Polk Award–winning article for The New Yorker, The Crisis of Islam is essential reading for anyone who wants to know what Usama bin Ladin represents & why his murderous message resonates so widely in the Islamic world.--From the Hardcover edition.

"Took a moment to build, but the payoff was spectacular. Beautiful writing, though I craved slightly more depth in the lore. Still, undeniably engaging. A wonderful companion for a quiet weekend."
