Abstract
|
:
|
In January 2006 Hamas, an organisation classified by Western governments as terrorist, was democratically elected to govern the Palestinian territories. Drawing on interviews with members of Hamas and its critics, this book offers an analysis of Hamas' understanding of its ideology and the tension between its dual commitment to God and the people.
