Jihad Watch

Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Robert Spencer’s History of Jihad, out today, zooms to #1 in three Amazon categories

Aug 7, 2018 2:42 pm By Robert Spencer

My new book The History of Jihad From Muhammad to ISIS, which you can order here now, is just out today, and it has already zoomed to #1 bestseller status in three Amazon categories: Middle East History (where the Kindle edition is also number three), Muhammad, and Islam.

That this book would be the number one bestseller in Islam is a tremendous rebuke to the well-heeled purveyors of misinformation and disinformation about this all-important topic, and I am grateful to every one of you who helped make it happen.

    Ok, here’s a question for all you readers of this great book. (I’ve just started reading the e-version.) In the first chapter, what do we learn about the timing of Muhammad’s statement: “I have been made victorious with terror.”
    ?

    • Keys says

      Aug 7, 2018 at 5:34 pm

      He made a “victorious through terror” statement as he was dying.

      However, I wonder if he may have made similar statements at other times that were not recorded.

      • eduardo odraude says

        Aug 8, 2018 at 12:38 pm

        Yes, among his last words were “I have been made victorious with terror.”

        And yes, in several places he supported the use of terror.

    At one point it was number one in “Radical political ideology” or something too.

    Hi Robert, my copy just came with the mail. I pre-ordered it on March 12 @ Amazon.
    I am into to it this evening!
    Thanks for writing it.

    Thank you so much for your hard work, Robert! I can’t wait to dig into my copy.

    And ALL members of Congress should also read this book !!!

    I have an idea…

    Perhaps Jihad Watch could set up a dedicated donation link so that loyal JW readers could contribute to this most worthy effort. We could all donate $10 or $20. Then Jihad Watch could ship the books via Amazon or Barnes & Noble to all members of Congress.

    Let’s all get the word out to CONGRESS !!!

    Robert Spencer’s History of Jihad, out today, zooms to #1 in three Amazon categories
    …………………..

    Great news!

    But I had hoped to get my copy from my favorite local independent bookstore. I knew from experience that I would have to wait until the book was officially released to ask about it.

    When I called today, and they said they were not carrying the book, did not plan to carry it, and–this is what really shocked me–would not order it for me. This is a bookstore that brags that they can order just about any book in print, and many that are out of print. They acted as though it was too obscure for their to be able to order–and now we see that it is leading in several categories on Amazon.

    To say I am disappointed does not cover it.

    I guess I’ll be ordering through Amazon after all. Kudos to them for carrying it.

      Gravinimage, perhaps you should buy a copy for this bookstore so they can see what they are missing.

    • Elizabeth in Delaware says

      Aug 8, 2018 at 9:05 am

      You may still wish to maintain a cordial relationship with the bookstore’s staff (I go out of my way to support independent retailers, especially since they are under such threat from the Gargantuas like Amazon), but Amazon is clearly already making money offering this book. When you receive yours you might want to take it in to your bookseller with its shipping receipt and point out all those wonderful little book nooks of yore are fading memories. Since you experienced bad service -insulting, if you realize what their attitude must be toward the person who would buy such damning stuff- you might want to give some other retailer your custom. I imagine it was not a pleasant experience.

    I am hoping that Robert can arrange for a Hebrew translation of this great work so that Israelis can have easy access to its valuable content. This is a must read for every Knesset member, as well as every soldier in the IDF.

    Got my copy today! Thanks, Robert!

    Aug 8, 2018 at 1:21 am

    This is even better considering that before the book was on sale it was listed as #1 in right wing extremism pre-orders. That was the catagory amazon expected but found out that this has NOTHING to do with the “far right” and even less to do with any extremism other than Islamic extremism.

    Congratulations Robert on another successful and important book and on your prolific career! Thank you for the effort and risks you take to speak the truth.

    Robert, I got mine. When are you coming to Israel (again), so that I can have you sign my copy? Thanks and be safe.

    Congratulations! My copy is supposed to arrive tomorrow. People less acquainted with Islamic Arab history, which we didn’t learn much of in school except a bit about the Barbary Wars, will enjoy the historical accounts written by Muslims at that time. I’m sure there are some people in India who will appreciate Americans learning about what happened to them; that history is being negated for political reasons but it helps to understand what happened to India after it was flourishing.

  15. Felix Quigley says

    The book will be a big success. But by itself a book can actually do very little. However this book in the hands of a revolututionary socialist party, that seeks to defeat the capitalist system and replace it with a socialist commonwealth, will be quite invaluable. I see a number of strengths to this book. It goes from beginning, or what is seen as the beginning, to the end meaning to the present. It moves along briskly giving good weight to the different topics. For example I like the way Spencer put Spain and India together in the one chapter. Number three really is that it very often uses the words of the Muslims themselves down the ages so they cannot lie. Lastly it is written as a story in a very unpretentious way. Great. I am excited by this book and the prospect of using it. For a new world. For socialism. For communism eventually.

    Congratulations, Robert, on being #1 in three categories!
    I picked up my pre-ordered copies today–one for me, and one for a friend. I have already started reading and can’t put the book down!
    Thank you for all your hard work.
