Militant Islamist Ideology

In "Militant Islamist Ideology," Youssef H. Aboul-Enein, a leading adviser at the Joint Intelligence Task Force for Combating Terrorism, presents a compelling analysis of the complex beliefs driving militant Islamists. Published by Naval Institute Press in 2013, this insightful paperback spans 272 pages and delves into the intricacies of Islamic fundamentalism and jihad.
