Title: RETHINKING ISLAMISM: THE IDEOLOGY OF THE NEW TERROR
Description: "In this provocative new book Meghnad Desai argues that it is quite wrong to treat the followers of Osama Bin Laden and other jihadists, whether home-grown or not, as qualitatively different in their thinking from extreme ideologies such as Leninism, Trotskyism or Maoism; or from the Baader-Meinhof Gang and the Red Brigades, who were also prepared to unleash savage violence against their own countrymen."--p.4 cover.
