Jihad in Islamic History: Doctrines and Practice, Michael Bonner's 2006 study from Princeton University Press, is a scholarly survey by an established historian of early Islam tracing jihad doctrine and practice across Islamic history from its earliest formulations. Its authority rests on Bonner's specialist standing and close use of primary Arabic sources across centuries. Its limit is that a single survey covering such a long span necessarily generalizes across regions and periods that a specialist monograph on one era would treat in more depth. Cite it for the broad doctrinal and historical pattern; a claim about one specific period or region needs a source focused on that period.
