The Clash of Fundamentalisms: Crusades, Jihads and Modernity by Tariq Ali
I picked this book up in order to try to understand a little more about the views of the author behind 'The Islam Qintet'. While my primary regional interest is South Asia, I'm interested in what Ali has to say about 'fundamentalisms' more generally.
I'd highly recommend this book to anyone with an interest in understanding some of the historical factos behind the increase in fundamentalism. I don't agree with all of Ali's views, but I consider that I am better informed for having read them.
