Khaled Hroub. Hamas: A Beginner’s Guide.
Londres: Pluto Press, 2006.
2da edición ampliada, 2010. 196 páginas.
¿Cuál es la historia de Hamás, sus creencias fundamentales y su programa político? Desde su fundación, tras la Primera Intifada, hasta la ofensiva israelí contra Gaza de 2008, Khaled Hroub escribe esta indispensable introducción a Hamás.
El libro abarca todos los acontecimientos importantes, incluidas las elecciones de enero de 2006, la relación con Al Fatah, en constante evolución, y la guerra de Gaza, además de proporcionar una visión de la ideología de Hamás mediante el estudio de su carta, sus estrategias socioeconómicas y su visión de Israel. Explicando las razones de la popularidad de Hamás, Hroub aporta los datos clave que a menudo faltan en las noticias.
La realidad de la victoria de Hamás significa que Occidente tendrá que comprometerse más seriamente con ella si quiere que haya paz en Oriente Próximo. Este libro proporciona el primer paso esencial hacia una mejor comprensión de los retos y sorpresas que puede deparar el futuro.
