| Summary: | This is a very detailed study of Germany's efforts during World War II to mobilize the Muslim world against the Reich's enemies, generally defined as the British, the Soviet Union, and the Jews. As the author notes, while World War I had seen some German interest, including practical steps such as special religious services and the building of Germany's first mosque for Muslim prisoners of war, it was really only in 1941 and 1942 that Germany began to make substantial efforts. These were the product of practical considerations such as heavy casualties on the Eastern Front and the need to send a German force to Libya to rescue the Italians from the British. |
