Killed in mysterious circumstances in 1989 in Peshawar, Pakistan, he remains one of the most influential jihadi ideologies of all time. Here, in the first in-depth biography of Azzam, Thomas Hegghammer explains how Azzam came to play this role and why jihadism went global at this particular time. It traces Azzam's extraordinary life journey from a West Bank village to the battlefields of Afghanistan, telling the story of a man who knew all the leading Islamists of his time and frequented presidents, CIA agents, and Cat Stevens the pop star. It is, however, also a story of displacement, exclusion, and repression that suggests that jihadism went global for fundamentally local reasons. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 509-681) and index. 600 10 $a Ê»AzzaÌm, Ê»Abd AllaÌh. 650 0 $a Jihad $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Palestinian Arabs $v Biography. 610 20 $a Qaida (Organization) 650 0 $a Muslim scholars $z Jordan $v Biography. 650 0 $a Revolutionaries $z Jordan $v Biography. 651 0 $a Afghanistan $x History $y Soviet occupation, 1979-1989. 648 7 $a 1979-1989 $2 fast 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20201103015529.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A535B362D7AA11EAACEF483997128E48 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
