This insightful book provides a unified repository of information
on jihadist terrorism. Offering an integrated treatment of
terrorist groups, zones of armed conflict and counter-terrorism
responses from liberal democratic states, it presents fresh
empirical perspectives on the origins and progression of conflict,
and contemporary global measures to combat terrorist activity.
Bringing together a multi-disciplinary team of scholars and
professionals, the book examines the growth and activities of four
key terrorist organizations: Al Qaeda, Islamic State, Hamas and
Lashkar-e-Taiba. It discusses their theologies, motivations and the
threat that they pose to liberal democracies through terrorist
attacks. Chapters contain perspectives and case studies on zones of
armed conflict in which terrorist organizations are being fought
directly in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria and Israel/Palestine,
evaluating the historic roots of these conflicts and their
evolution over time. It also examines national efforts in the US,
the UK, France, India and Israel in combating terrorism,
considering the preventative measures and activities of
intelligence and security agencies through personal interviews
conducted with service and retired professionals. Based on crucial
empirical investigations conducted by intelligence professionals,
scholars, research specialists and journalists, this is critical
reading for researchers and advanced students in terrorism studies,
international studies and conflict resolution, as well as those
studying political science more broadly. It will also benefit
policymakers and intelligence and law enforcement specialists in
need of a comparative study of contemporary counter-terrorism
responses.
