educated general public. In four volumes, with entries arranged

Islamic movements worldwide, for the first time....A virtually
comprehensive reference work enabling the reader to understand the
current Muslim predicament as it has been shaped by events in the
past three
centuries."--The Times Higher Education Supplement
