The Age of Political Jihadism: A Study of Hayat Tahrir al-Sham by Aaron Y. Zelin

In this thought-provoking book, illustrated with photographs of HTS personalities and personnel, jihadism expert Aaron Y. Zelin digs deep into the group's past before reckoning with the implications of Jawlani's request. Whatever the U.S. decision, he suggests, political jihadism is here to stay.

Aaron Y. Zelin is the Richard Borow Fellow at The Washington Institute, a visiting research scholar in the Department of Politics at Brandeis University, and the founder of Jihadology.net. He is author of the book Your Sons Are at Your Service: Tunisia's Missionaries of Jihad (Columbia University Press), along with the recent Institute study Syria at the Center of Power Competition and Counterterrorism.
