Hamas : politics, charity and terrorism in the service of Jihad/ Matthew Levitt - New Haven CT : Yale Univ Press, 2006 - xi, 324 p.

Analysis of Palestinian politics and the reasons behind the dramatic rise to power of Hamas, an organization identified as a terrorist group by the EU, USA and other states. Looks at terror activities and sources of finance (private foreign and state aid), and argues that Hamas' objective is to turn Palestine's search for independence into a completely religious struggle and as such is a threat both to Israel and to moderate Palestinians.
