An Associated Press correspondent recently stationed in Cairo, Shadid reworks a series of articles into an account of how Islamic politic is shifting from militancy to democracy. Through interview and travelogues, he documents how the adolescent militants of a few years ago have become mature activists in Lebanon, Egypt, Turkey, and elsewhere. Annotation c.
