Synopsis

They called it holy war. But beneath the language of faith lay the realities of power and strategy.
Doctrines of Jihad offers a rigorous and analytical examination of how religious ideas have intersected with geopolitical objectives in the modern world. Moving beyond surface-level narratives, the book explores the complex relationship between theology, state interests, and irregular warfare.
From the historical evolution of ideological frameworks to their role in contemporary conflicts, this work analyzes how belief systems have been interpreted, institutionalized, and mobilized across different contexts. It examines the strategic dimensions of insurgency, the role of state and non-state actors, and the broader security implications that continue to shape global politics.
Written with the precision of a researcher and the clarity of a strategic analyst, Nikkhil S. Singh presents a balanced and thought-provoking study aimed at students, scholars, and readers interested in international relations and security studies.
This is not a work of advocacy, but of inquiry — an attempt to understand how ideas, power, and conflict intersect in the modern geopolitical landscape.
