Palestinian Islamic Jihad: Islamist Writings on Resistance and Religion is the first academic resource to provide a comprehensive accounting of the ideology of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad ... an invaluable contribution to college library collections, highly recommended. * Midwest Book Review * Skare's book is useful to readers from many disciplines. It serves as a great example of the way terrorist groups interpret political processes, how they interpret history and how they judge history through the lens of religion and messianic processes. For readers interested in the self-justification of violence and the rationalization behind targeting civilians, this book provides a firsthand glimpse into that psychological process. * Edge Blog by American Military University *
