Esteemed Middle East scholar Bernard Lewis comes to the 92nd Street Y for another unforgettable night of intelligent and gripping discussion on contemporary issues. In this program, Lewis, one of the greatest historians of the Middle East, pulls from his best-selling books such as Crisis of Islam: Holy War and Unholy Terror and What Went Wrong?: The Clash Between Islam and Modernity in the Middle East to examine the Islamic doctrine of Holy War and the perversion of Islamic tenants by modern extremists. With an intense delivery, peppered with clever witticism, Lewis engages the history of Islam and its clash with contemporary culture and modernism.
