About this book
This book is about the epic battle between modernity and militant Islam that is reshaping the Middle East. The author goes inside the militant Islamic movements in ten countries: Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Algeria, Libya, Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, Israel and Iran. She shows that just as there is no unified Arab world, so there is no single Islam. The movements are as different as the countries in which they are rooted.
