War Without End
By
Dilip Hiro
The first war of the twenty-first century\" - That is how President George W. Bush described the start of a war against terror signaled by the catastrophic terrorist attacks on New York and Washington, D.C., on September 11. In reality, though, this conflict began during the presidency of Bill Clinton in August 1998 when the US responded to Islamist terrorist bombing of American embassies in Nairobi and Dar as Salaam.
This book provides the historical and political context to explain the acts of terror and the West\'s response. After providing a brief history of Islam as a religion and as a socio-political ideology, Dilip Hiro outlines the Islamist movements that have thrived in Egypt, Saudi Arabia and Afghanistan, and their changing relationship with America. It is within this framework that he describes the rising menace of Osama bin Laden and his Al Qaida network.
