Book Description:

As Puritan religious fervor sweeps across Islam, God-inspired militants rise up to purge Arabia of corrupt foreign influences, to secure the Holy Places of Islam from idolatrous Westerners and Western-backed Egyptian mercenaries. The time is early in the 19th Century, but the bitter clash between the Egyptians and teh Wahhabis will reverberate through the 20th Century. - from the back cover
