Sayyid Qutb, the educator and writer whose book Milestones ignited the radical Islamist movement, is shown here displaying one of his books (probably Social Justice in Islam) to the president of Colorado State College of Education, Dr. William Ross.

Greeley, Colorado, from the air in the 1940s. “The small city of Greeley, in which I am staying, is so beautiful that one may easily imagine that he is in paradise,” Qutb wrote. But he also saw the darker side of America.

Qutb on trial, circa 1965. He was hanged in 1966. “Thank God,” he said when his death sentence was pronounced. “I performed jihad for fifteen years until I earned this martyrdom.”
