Saudi Arabia and the Politics of Dissent

Few books on Saudi Arabia deal with primary sources in examining internal Saudi dissent. In contrast, Saudi Arabia and the Politics of Dissent relies on field work and the analysis of more than 100 taped sermons by Saudi Islamic activists, examining their personal backgrounds, their rhetoric, and their strategies. Mamoun Fandy traces the evolution of Islamic opposition in Saudi Arabia, focusing on the Gulf War and its aftermath and scrutinizing the works of Safar al Hawali and Salman al-Auda. He also documents the history of the Shi`a Reform Movement and its leader, Sheik Hassan al-Safar, of Mohammed al-Mas`ari and his Committee for the Defense of Legitimate Rights, of Sa'd al-Faqih and the Movement of Islamic Reform in Arabia, and finally the radical Usama bin Laden and his organization. By analyzing the Saudi opposition’s use of modern technologies of communication and discussing the ways in which supposedly fundamentalist thinkers have been influenced by global debates and events, this book contributes significantly to the theoretical debate on domination and resistance in the current age of globalization and postmodernity.

George C. Marshall

Servant of the American Nation

As historian and biographer Mark Stoler has observed, the extraordinary career of George C. Marshall in the first half of the twentieth century paralleled the emergence of the United States as a great power. Indeed, this great servant-leader contributed substantively to virtually every important event and issue comprising that ascendance. Bringing together a who's who of Marshall scholars, this volume examines the major roles assumed by Marshall over his five-decade career - Soldier; Statesman and Peacemaker; and Leader and Manager - to illuminate key issues and themes surrounding the man and his era.
