Unmodern Men in the Modern World: Radical Islam, Terrorism, and the War on Modernity Book

In this provocative text examining radical Islamists, the author looks at formerly held views on the "enemy" in the war on terror, and suggests new ways of looking at the extremists in comparison to revolutionaries from such countries as Russia, Germany, and other well known radicals. This book also builds a model of how anti-modernist movements arise and suggests broader truths about the changing character of world politics in dealing with the growing radical Islamist movement.Read More

  • Product Description

    Five years into the war on terror, we still don't understand the supposed "enemy." Official analyses of radical Islam remain simplistic and unhelpful for understanding the motivations and mindsets of people still characterized simply as "evildoers who hate freedom." This book offers a new way of understanding this challenge and figuring out what to do about it. It concludes with specific policy suggestions for a new approach to replace the badly-failing current strategy. This book approaches radical Islam by putting it into a comparative context. It makes a big, bold argument about the character of the threat and the nature of world politics in this provocative and wide-ranging examination of radical Islamists.
