The New Threat From Islamic Militancy

Synopsis of The New Threat From Islamic Militancy

«The New Threat From Islamic Militancy» is Jason Burke's essay on jihadism, published by The Bodley Head Ltd in paperback.

Jason Burke, a reporter with nearly two decades on the ground, analyses militant Islamism from Syria to Somalia, from Libya to Yemen and its echo in Europe. He describes the power of ISIS and Boko Haram, the evolution of Al-Qaeda and the rise of Western jihadists, and rejects the idea that it is a medieval phenomenon: it is modern and comprehensible.

Aimed at readers interested in terrorism, geopolitics and investigative journalism, with a well-documented approach that avoids sensationalism.
