"The most detailed and impressive account yet of the development and activities of Lashkar-e-Taiba."--Patrick French, The Sunday Times"This is the first work of social science research on Lashkar-e-Taiba. It reveals how diverse its activities are, from jihad to social welfare, and how close to Pakistan's Inter-Service Intelligence (ISI) the movement is. A vivid and detailed account of a major Islamist actor in today's world."--Christophe Jaffrelot, Critique
