LEWIS Bernard

The crisis of Islam: holy war and unholy terror/ Bernard Lewis - London: Weidenfeld & Nicolson, 2003 - 144p.

Argues that the Muslim world and especially the Middle East has failed to modernise over several centuries and as a result many Muslims at the beginning of the 21st century suffer poverty and unrepresentative government. Considers why this should be the case and why the continuing failure to modernise is so dangerous.
