Roots of radicalisation

This fascinating book was published in late March with the claim that it is ‘the first book to offer a comprehensive and authoritative overview of the radicalisation of the Islam in Britain’. Perhaps its claim to be the first such book is somewhat blinkered, yet it certainly is a very thorough treatment of the pressing question as to why much of British Islam is so evidently more political, and arguably more militant, in 2006 than it was 20 years ago.
