(Tony) Allan, Department of Geography, King's College London
Among the thousands of publications that address the subject of terror, this book is exceptional.

Bill, College of William & Mary
A breakthrough in the scholarship on Islamic radicalism. This most readable and insightful book tackles previously unexplored facets of the radical Islamic agenda.
