'A groundbreaking study ... a masterclass in how to do intellectual history, and
one that nobody with an interest in radical Islam should miss' Tom Holland, New
Statesman
'Readers looking for a rigorous but lucid account of Islamic State's ideas will

No topic has gripped the public imagination so dramatically as the spectre of
