Based on groundbreaking research and numerous interviews, Rashid explains the roots of fundamentalist rage in Central Asia, describes the goals and activities of its militant organizations, including Osama bin Laden's al-Qaeda, and suggests ways of neutralizing the threat and bringing stability to the troubled region. A timely and pertinent work, \u003cb\u003eJihad\u003c\/b\u003e is essential reading for anyone who seeks to gain a better understanding of a region we overlook at our peril.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Penguin Books","offers":[{"title":"Jihad: The Rise of Militant Islam in Central Asia | Ahmed Rashid | Paperback | 9780142002605 | Used: Very Good | Back Stacks I 1754177","offer_id":49005311754392,"sku":"1754177","price":8.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/91CmufPWBFL.jpg?v=1778313665","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/jihad-the-rise-of-militant-islam-in-central-asia","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
