Islamic Fundamentalism in Egyptian Politics

The book delves into the ideological conflicts within Egyptian fundamentalist groups, particularly the shifting focus from targeting the Egyptian regime to prioritizing the West, specifically the United States. It examines how the government's violent suppression of insurgency influenced this change and led many radicals to ally with figures like Usama bin Ladin. Additionally, it features excerpts and analyses of Ayman al-Zawahiri's writings, highlighting his pivotal role in the Egyptian movement and his involvement in planning the September 11 attacks.
