This beginner's guide to Hamas has been fully revised and updated. It now covers all the major events since the January 2006 elections, including the conflict with Fatah and Israel's brutal offensive in Gaza at the end of 2008. Explaining the reasons for Hamas's popularity, leading Al-Jazeera journalist and Cambridge academic Khaled Hroub provides the key facts that are so often missing from conventional news reports. It's a one-stop guide that gives a clear overview of Hamas's history, key beliefs, and its political agenda. This unique book provides a refreshing perspective that gets to the heart of Hamas.

Review:
This short, timely introduction provides a history of the movement, a rundown of key policies and sketches of key figures. (Guardian)

This book could not be timelier. Drawing on his deep understanding of politics and religion in Palestine, Hroub expertly answers every important question about Hamas. (James Piscatori, Oxford Centre for Islamic Studies.)

A very useful summary of the Hamas movement’s origins, evolution, and key positions. ... The book’s question-and-answer format yields clear and concise positions, and Hroub deftly expands on these as he explains the nature of Hamas’ discourse on resistance, its views of Israel, what he sees as religious and nationalistic currents in Hamas, the problematic language of its Charter, association with suicide bombings, and the impact on Palestinians of Fatah’s and Hamas’ polarization. (CHOICE)
About the Author:
Khaled Hroub is a Palestinian, born into a refugee camp in Bethlehem, and now part of the diaspora of educated intellectuals. He is currently director of the Arab Media Project at Cambridge University and is the author of three previous books on Hamas.
