Summary Hamas's overwhelming electoral victory in January 2006 transformed politics in the Middle East and shocked the world. Hamas was able to seize control of the entire Gaza Strip in June 2007, despite its status as a terrorist organization in Israel, the U.S., and the E.U. Azzam Tamimi's longtime relationships and extensive interviews with Hamas's leading members allow him to create a more intimate portrait of Hamas in its own words. This book is a history of Hamas from its origins among the Muslim Brotherhood to the present
