Sayyid Qutb and the Origins of Radical Islamism by John Calvert

An academic study of Sayyid Qutb's life and ideas, examining their development within the political, religious and social landscape of twentieth-century Egypt.

From Dad's Collection

This copy comes from my dad's personal collection. Dad was an actor and scriptwriter with a genuine interest in politics, history, ideology and the forces that shape societies around the world. His collection remains an important part of Kate's Treasures15, with each book now looking for a new home where it can continue to be read and appreciated.

Written by historian John Calvert, Sayyid Qutb and the Origins of Radical Islamism places Qutb's life and writings within the political and social context of twentieth-century Egypt, examining the circumstances surrounding the development of his thought.

The book explores subjects including nationalism, religion, imprisonment and political change, providing historical context for readers seeking to understand Qutb's ideas and their place within modern Middle Eastern political history.

A substantial choice for readers interested in Middle Eastern history, political ideology, religion, international affairs and twentieth-century political thought.
