Most violent jihadi movements in the twentieth century focused on
removing corrupt, repressive secular regimes throughout the Muslim
world. But following the 1979 Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, a new
form of jihadism emerged-global jihad-turning to the international
arena as the primary locus of ideology and action. With this book,
Glenn E. Robinson develops a compelling and provocative argument
about this violent political movement's evolution. Global Jihad
tells the story of four distinct jihadi waves, each with its own
program for achieving a global end: whether a Jihadi International
to liberate Muslim lands from foreign occupation; al-Qa'ida's call
to drive the United States out of the Muslim world; ISIS using
"jihadi cool" to recruit followers; or leaderless efforts of
stochastic terror to "keep the dream alive." Robinson connects the
rise of global jihad to other "movements of rage" such as the Nazi
Brownshirts, White supremacists, Khmer Rouge, and Boko Haram.
Ultimately, he shows that while global jihad has posed a low
strategic threat, it has instigated an outsized reaction from the
United States and other Western nations.
