Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
This book presents a rare glimpse into the rhetorical machinations of one of the world's most brutal terrorist groups. For scholars of terrorist literature, there is no comparable product on this group or other groups in South Asia.
MoreLong description:
Since its inception in Afghanistan in the late 1980s, the Lashkar-e-Tayyaba (LeT), also known as the Jamaat-ul-Dawa (JuD), has arguably been the most threatening and disruptive terrorist organization in South Asia and beyond. While there is considerable scholarship on its history and operations, few scholars have exploited the organization's vast publications. This volume is the first scholarly effort to curate a sample of LeT's Urdu-language publications and then translate them into English for the scholarly community studying this group and related organizations. While the original texts were written and published by Dar al Andalus, which exclusively publishes LeT's books, pamphlets, posters, speeches, and other materials with the explicit intention of diffusing the group's ideology, raising funds, and cultivating volunteers for the organization, the authors hope that by rendering the group's materials more accessible, this book can contribute to the myriad efforts to combat such groups and the violence they perpetrate.
The Literature of Lashkar-e-Tayyaba is the foundational book on Lashkar. This work by two leading scholars fills a major gap in literature and sheds new light on an often misunderstood militant organization. It is essential reading for practitioners, scholars, and students alike who seek to understand the doctrine and worldview of one of the most sophisticated jihadist groups operating today.
