New book prompts call for rethink on war in Middle East

The full story of Islamic resistance movement Hamas has been uncovered in a new book co-authored by a Queen's academic.

HAMAS: The Islamic Resistance Movement is written by Queen's politics Professor Beverley Milton-Edwards, along with Stephen Farrell a New York Times Foreign Correspondent' who runs the NYTs At War blog http://atwar.blogs.nytimes.com

Professor Milton-Edwards is an internationally recognised expert in the field of religious extremism, political violence and terrorism. She leads Queen's master's degree course in Violence, Terrorism and Security at the University's School of Politics, International Studies and Philosophy.

Professor Milton-Edwards said: "Declared a terrorist menace yet elected to government in a free election, Hamas now stands as the most important Sunni Islamist group in the Middle East. But how did Hamas grow to be so powerful? Who supports it? And what is its future? This book provides an essential insight into the movement and answers these questions."

Professor Milton-Edwards has spent two decades researching Hamas from the movement's Palestinian heartland. Together with Stephen Farrell, she has gained unrivalled access to the world of Islamic resistance and radical Islam.

She said: "Drawing on our frontline experiences of recent events, access to secret documents from the western intelligence community and interviews with leaders, militants, and commanders of Hamas' armed battalions, this book reveals the full story of Hamas and the future of political Islam in the Middle East.

"We show Hamas to be a broad and more powerful regional phenomenon than previously thought, and by doing so contend that it is time to rethink the war and the nature of Islam and its role in the Middle East."
