The Failure of Political Islam(English, Paperback, Roy Olivier) is written by Roy Olivier and published by Harvard University Press. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 0674291417 (ISBN 10) and 9780674291416 (ISBN 13).

Olivier Roy demonstrates that the Islamic Fundamentalism of today is still the Third Worldism of the 1960s: populist politics and mixed economies of laissez-faire for the rich and subsidies for the poor. In Roy's striking formulation, those marching today beneath Islam's green banners are the same as the "reds" of yesterday, with similarly dim prospects of success. Richly informed, powerfully argued, and clearly written, this is a book that no one trying to understand Islam can afford to overlook.
