Abstract: "While sensing the omens of a new war, Kepel's account reveals that the realities are more complex than commonly understood. Bin Laden is popular and religious fervour is on the rise, but many people have also found the path to moderation without blunting their critical instincts." "Throughout, Kepel asks the critical questions: Why is there so much resentment towards, but fascination for, the West?"--Jacket.
