Some treasures at Kate's Treasures15 are chosen because they are beautiful or useful. Others are here because they belonged to my dad and formed part of a collection shaped by his lifelong interest in politics, history, ideology and the forces that influence societies around the world.

Dad was an actor and scriptwriter who believed that understanding history required looking beyond headlines and examining the people, ideas and circumstances that shaped major world events.

Written by historian John Calvert, Sayyid Qutb and the Origins of Radical Islamism places the life and writings of Sayyid Qutb within the political and social landscape of twentieth-century Egypt. Rather than relying on simplified interpretations, the book explores the historical context surrounding his intellectual development, examining nationalism, religion, imprisonment and political change.

Widely regarded as a carefully researched academic work, it provides readers with historical context for understanding influential political ideas and the environment in which they developed.

An important resource for readers interested in Middle Eastern history, political thought, international affairs and modern history.
