Description
At last, here is a book that deliberately sets aside the usual questions about terrorist ideology and instead offers a systemic analysis of the terrorism industry. Drawing upon years of research as well as information gathering from unnamed personal contacts within the Al Quaeda network, the author delves into the nebulous group of autonomous organizations located throughout the world, each with their own weapons capabilities, from the radical Egyptian movement, Takfir wal Hijrah and the Algerian-based Salafists to unexpected terrorist cells in countries such as Uganda, Japan, Greece and Peru. Presenting, for the first time, one of the largest collections of Jihadist pamphlets in existence, this authoritative and meticulously researched book explores the methods of Islamic terrorism and its likely course both outside and within the United States.
