Calls for jihad are often heard from today’s radical Islamists, while many Americans believe in a divine mission for the U.S. military—but the trail of war waged in God’s name reaches back over 1,000 years. This fascinating three-part series examines the historical relationship between militarism and strictly interpreted religion. With penetrating scholarly analysis and an energetic visual style, The Holy Wars provides a wide-ranging perspective on orthodoxy, empire, cultural domination, and the resistance they can incite. 3-part series, 30 minutes each.
