Reviews

"Habeck has put together so many pieces from so many sources together in such a manner that no writer on this topic can afford to ignore this book. Making the case for the primacy of these ideas, not merely as products of impersonal socio-economic structures and international systemic factors, is not a minor undertaking. "Knowing the Enemy" constitutes an admirable effort to coherently portray the world view of Jihadists and identify their differences as well."
