The Muslim Brotherhood is the oldest and most important international
Islamist group. Aside from strong organizations in Egypt, Jordan,
Syria-where it provides the main opposition--and its Palestinian
offshoot Hamas which rules the Gaza Strip, the Brotherhood has become
active in Europe and North America. Its flexible tactics which range
from terrorism through electoral participation to social welfare
activities have made it a particularly effective group. This book is the
first comprehensive analysis of the Brotherhood's organizations,
doctrine, and leaders in all the main countries where it operates.
