Meet the Author: “The War for Muslim Minds”

Gilles Kepel is one of the most cited experts on Islam in the US and Europe. In The War for Muslim Minds: Islam and the West, Kepel explains the impact of global terrorism and the ensuing military operations to stem its tide. From the breakdown of the Camp David accords to the futility of the Israeli-Palestinian peace process in 2000, he reveals how the Arab-Israeli conflict became entangled in the larger Islamic confrontation from the West. Kepel explains how these engagements have had venomous results across the Middle and Near East regions, as well as Europe and the US.
