This book follows the fortunes of the Islamist revolution from the 1970s to the end of twentieth century. It argues that the upsurge of interest in jihad as a means to create a global Islamic state based on strict interpretation of the Koran has been replaced, in the absence of any real gains in political power, by disillusion and moves to develop new ideas of Muslim democracy. This is a detailed study of the phenomenon of Islamism over a thirty year period.
