Böcker av Stephane Lacroix

Drawing on an A-list of Middle East experts, this book assesses the relative merits of the thwarted paths to democracy in the 'Arab Spring' states.

With unprecedented access to a closed culture, Lacroix offers an account of Islamism in Saudi Arabia. Tracing the last half-century of the Sahwa, or "Islamic Awakening," he explains the brand of Islam that gave birth to Osama bin Laden-one that has been exported, and dangerously misunderstood, around the world.
