American Raj: America and the Muslim World - Softcover

American Raj is the culmination of Eric Margolis’ years of boots-on-the-ground insight into the Muslim world garnered from his years as a journalist in the Middle East. It takes readers inside the thinking and worldview of anti-Western Islamic radicals throughout the Muslim world and identifies the historical, political, and religious factors that have played a major role in generating hostility toward the West. Employing the model of Britain’s imperialist hegemony in Asia, Margolis explores in fascinating detail whether the West risks a replay of the Raj experience or whether we face an entirely new world order.
