Gilles Kepel is one of the world's foremost experts on the current Middle East and is director of research at the CNRS in Paris, and Professor at the Institute for Political Studies in Paris.
Beginning in the early 1970s, militants revolted against the regimes in power across the Muslim world. Their jihad - or 'Holy Struggle' - aimed to establish a global Islamic state based solely on a strict interpretation of the Qur'an. This title follows the history and spread of this political-religious phenomenon.
