Written with verve and extraordinary access to primary sources in several languages, Icon of Evil is the definitive account of the man who during World War II was called "the fuhrer of the Arab world" and whose ugly legacy lives on today. In 1921, the beneficiary of an appointment the British would live to regret, Haj Amin al~Husseini became the mufti of Jerusalem, the most eminent and influential Islamic leader in the Middle East. For years, al~Husseini fomented violence in the region against the Jews he loathed and wished to destroy. Forced out in 1937, he eventually found his way to the country whose legions he desperately wished to join: Nazi Germany. Here, with new and disturbing details, David G. Dalin and John F. Rothmann show how al~Husseini ingratiated himself with his hero, Adolf Hitler, becoming, with his blond hair and blue eyes, an "honorary Aryan," while dreaming of being installed Nazi leader of the Middle East. Al~Husseini would later recruit more than 100,000 Muslims in Europe to fight in divisions of the Waffen~SS, and obstruct negotiations with the Allies that might have allowed four thousand Jewish children to escape to Palestine. Some believe that al~Husseini even inspired Hitler to implement the Final Solution. At war's end, al~Husseini escaped indictment at Nuremberg and was harbored in France before being given a hero's welcome in Egypt. Icon of Evil chronicles al~Husseini's postwar relationships with such influential Islamic figures as the radical theoretician Sayyid Qutb and Saddam Hussein's powerful uncle General Khairallah Talfah, and his crucial mentoring of the young Yasser Arafat. Finally, it provides compelling evidence that al~Husseini's actions and writings serve as inspirations today to the leaders of Hamas, Hezbollah, and other terrorist organizations pledged to destroy Israel and the United States. Revelatory and unsettling, Icon of Evil reveals an essential character in the worst crimes of the modern era. It is an important addition to our understanding of the past, present, and future of radical Islam. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 1091901
