Bostom’s book “The Legacy of Jihad: Islamic Holy War and the Fate of Non-Muslims,” is a magisterial review of the doctrine of jihad and dhimmitude through the entire history of Islam, and all major schools of Islamic jurisprudence. I cannot recommend this book highly enough. Bostom is a Professor of Nephrology at the Brown University School of Medicine.

And of course Witness is one of the greatest books of American letters.
