Decades before al-Qaeda took shape, religious radicals in Southeast
Asia were laying the groundwork for a struggle to achieve a
backward-looking utopia. This is the story of Jemaah Islamiyah
(JI), the secretive organization that spans no less than half a
dozen nations and seeks the full implementation of their intolerant
take on Islam. In The Second Front: Inside Asia's Most Dangerous
Terrorist Network, best-selling author Ken Conboy pieces together
the planning and execution of JI's most deadly terrorist acts from
exclusive interviews and classified reports. In details never
before revealed, it delves into the minds of the group's leaders -
from the professorial bomb expert Azhari to the al-Qaeda proxy
Hambali. From the shadows of the Hindu Kush to battlefields on the
Spice Islands, The Second Front peels back the veil of secrecy and
chronicles the successes in bringing down this network, as well as
exposes the missed opportunities by regional governments to prevent
terrorist acts and sectarian violence that have taken the lives of
thousands. About the author Ken Conboy, the bestselling author of
INTEL: Inside Indonesia's Intelligence Service and KOPASSUS: Inside
Indonesia's Special Forces, is country manager for Risk Management
Advisory, a private security consultancy in Jakarta. Prior to that,
he served as deputy director at the Asian Studies Center, an
influential Washington-based think tank, where his duties including
writing policy papers for the U.S. Congress and Executive on
economic and strategic relations with the nations of South and
Southeast Asia. A graduate of Georgetown University's School of
Foreign Service and of Johns Hopkins' School of Advanced
International Studies, Conboy was also a visiting fellow at
Chulalongkorn University in Bangkok and has lived in Indonesia
since 1992.
