解説

This is a pioneering critical intervention into the study of terrorism, language and political thought. Challenging the commonly held idea that 'suicide-bombings' are motivated by a nihilistic hatred of life, this book argues that it is more helpful to examine such violent agency through the concept of 'sacrifice'.

Through a unique look at the way 'sacrifice' is used in the Arabic language, this book offers penetrating insights into jihadi thought. How does it compare to western political theorists such as Machiavelli and von Clausewitz, Hannah Arendt, Julia Kristeva and Judith Butler?

Concluding that the heedless certainty of such violence undermines attempts to redress political grievances, Al-Qaeda and Sacrifice goes beyond simplistic or apologetic explanations of terrorism and allows the authentic jihadi voice to speak for itself.
