Reviews
"A comprehensive study that puts forward among other useful interpretations the idea that Islamic fundamentalism represents "the latest and perhaps the last attempt to establish a totalitarian Islamic state." Choueiri also demonstrates that even Islamists most intent on rejecting the "other" in favor of an Islamist authenticity often rely on ideologies advanced by outsiders." - Professor L. Carl Brown, Princeton University, USA
