  • Nor does he explain how the relationship between Wahhabism, Salafism, and violence has evolved over the latter half of the 20th century or even the subsequent 15 years. [...]despite the title, The Age of Jihad, Cockburn fails to make a serious attempt to grapple with either the rapidly evolving worldviews or complex transnational histories of the jihadist groups that sow chaos across the book's pages.
