This analysis of the evolution of religious political violence outlines the differences between secular and religious political violence; on ideological; strategic; and tactical levels before comparing the concept of Holy War in Judaism; Christianity; and Islam. Lastly; it shows how modern radical monotheistic religious groups interpret and manipulate their religious sources and ideas to advocate their political agendas; including the practice of violence. A unique comparative study of religious political violence across Judaism; Islam; and Christianity; this text features many international case studies from the Crusades to the Arab Spring.

The section on more recent politics appears very thorough; but to the non-Indian resident; there perhaps is an expectation that the reader is already somewhat familiar with Gujarati politics. I purchased on the recommendations of a political scientist; so perhaps that was to be expected.
