Origins of Terrorism: The Rise of the World's Most Formidable
Terrorist Groups examines the roots of Islamic terrorism, it's
history, and some of the foundational figures in prominent
terrorist organizations. Throughout, the book also addresses the
use of terrorism, the "hows" and "whys" of terrorists' goals, and
their modus operandi. Historically, insurgency operations have
formed the basis of a number of terrorist groups-resistance to
western powers, particularly the United States, and what is viewed
as their unwanted interference in regional affairs. Sections are
devoted to individual terror organizations, including some of the
most well-known and resilient global movements-Al Qaeda, ISIS, the
Taliban, and Boko Haram, among others. Coverage details where and
how they originated, who the principal organizers were, how these
individuals worked-or didn't work-together. In this, the authors
look at the circumstances that allowed for these leaders, and their
groups', development and success. In this, the authors expose
interesting, little-known stories and facts about the specific
upbringing, family life, and personal narrative around these
organizations' founders, as well as ties to other terrorist
founders and organizations. For example, the relationship between
individuals such as Osama bin Laden and Musab al Zarkawi (aka Ahmad
al-Khalayleh)-the founder of 'Al Qaeda in Iraq' (AQI), which became
ISIS-is examined in detail, providing readers with some of the
"stories behind the stories" to understand the prominent figures
and underpinnings of major terrorist organizations' philosophies,
formation, and elements that have led to their staying power.
Origins of Terrorism will be a valuable resource for security and
intelligence professionals, terrorism researchers, and students,
providing a unique perspective to understand terrorism and terror
movements in considering counterterror efforts.
