The listing, Jihad: The Holy War Paperback has ended.
I bought this book to understand the whole notion of Jihad more clearly. While the book did give a thorough explanation of the origins of the Jihad mindset, there is as much theology as secular history. This was helpful in understanding the topic from a religious, as well as secular viewpoint, which is, after all, the motivating factor for Jihadists. It is an older text and could stand a revision to bring it up to date.
