James Toth

Sayyid Qutb

The Life and Legacy of a Radical Islamic Intellectual

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

James Toth traces the life and thought of Sayyid Qutb, the Egyptian thinker and Islamist martyr branded by The New York Times Magazine as The Philosopher of Islamic Terror. By returning to Qutb's writings, Toth draws a complex portrait of Qutb, one that moves beyond the cartoonish descriptions of him as the evil genius lurking behind today's terrorists.
