Fawaz Gerges book on al Qaeda and the jihadist movement has become a classic in the field since it was published in 2005. Here he argued that far from being an Islamist front united in armed struggle, or jihad against the Christian West, as many misguided political commentators and politicians opined, al Qaeda represented a small faction within the jihadist movement, criticized by other groups who preferred to concentrate on changing the Muslim world, rather than attacking the Far Enemy and making the fight global. In the intervening years, with the advance of the War on Terror and the invasion of Iraq, much has changed and, just as Gerges showed, al Qaedas fortunes have taken a significant downturn. Revisiting The Far Enemy in this new edition, Gerges demonstrates that not only have the jihadists split ranks, but that voices from within the ultrareligious right, those that previously supported al Qaeda, are condemning its tactics as violent, unethical, and out of accord with the true meaning of jihad. In fact, millions of Muslims worldwide have rejected alQaedas ideology and strategies and blame Osama bin Laden and his cohorts for the havoc the organisation has wrecked on their communities. AlQaeda is now in the wilderness suffering massive erosion of authority and legitimacy in Muslim eyes and facing a fierce revolt from within. As Gerges warns, the next US administration would do well to use political and socioeconomic strategies rather than military means to ensure that it stays there.

This book really opened my eyes to the nuances of jihadist movements. The narrative flows well, and I appreciated the context given to various events. Perfect for anyone wanting to understand the fundamentals behind global jihad.

A Thought-Provoking Read
The Far Enemy dives deep into the complexities of jihad and its global implications. I picked it up for my book club, and everyone found it enlightening. The analysis is sharp and well-researched, making it hard to put down!

Disappointing Delivery Experience
While I enjoyed The Far Enemy, I was frustrated with the shipping. It took longer than expected to arrive, and the packaging was a bit damaged. The content is great, but I wish the delivery had been smoother.

Interesting but Dense
I found The Far Enemy to be really informative, but at times it felt a bit heavy. The author's insights are valuable, yet the writing style can be a challenge for casual readers. Still worth the read if you're into geopolitics.
