Editorial Reviews

"Must read — the most comprehensive and critically documented study of HAMAS published to date."

John L. Esposito

"Khaled Hroub’s book on Hamas is excellent, providing a detailed and carefully constructed analysis of the movement that goes well beyond and far beneath the sensationalist and often distorted reporting of this organization and its role in Palestinian politics. As such, Hroub’s study, which is not an apology, provides a much needed corrective that should be required reading for policymakers, scholars, politicians and students of the Middle East."

Sara Roy

"This is the only book I have read that examines the ideology of Hamas as presented in the movement’s own documents, statements, and press releases. The author’s interviews with several leaders of Hamas supplement the written sources and also demonstrate the little-known pragmatic dimensions of Hamas’s political practices. Anyone who reads this book will appreciate why Hamas can not be dismissed simply as a marginal, extremist group."
