"The Last Crusade: Americanism and Islamic Reformation" is a book written by Michael A. Sells, published in 2002. In this book, Sells explores the intersections of American foreign policy, particularly its interventions in the Middle East, and the internal dynamics within Islam, focusing on the movements for reform and modernization within Islamic societies. The title suggests a provocative juxtaposition of Western influence (symbolized by the Crusades) and the ongoing transformations within Islamic thought and society. Sells argues for a nuanced understanding of these complex issues and their implications for global relations and the future of Islam.
