God Has Ninety-Nine Names: Reporting from a Militant Middle East, by Judith Miller (ISBN 978-0684809731), offers an in-depth exploration of militant Islamic movements across ten countries, including Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Algeria, Libya, Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, Israel, and Iran.
Miller investigates the varied ideologies, strategies, and internal divisions within these movements, showing how they alternate between promoting change through persuasion and resorting to violence. Drawing on direct encounters with influential figures such as Muammar Qaddafi, King Hussein, and Yitzhak Rabin, she examines the political, social, and religious forces driving extremism, as well as its impact on minorities, governance, and democratic institutions. The result is a detailed, on-the-ground portrait of a region in the midst of complex and often dangerous transformations.
