Reviews

Very few can master the complexity of the ever-expanding list of local movements, but Gartenstein-Ross and Joscelyn give us an authoritative bird's eye view of jihadism around the globe, with tremendous access and analysis of important primary sources uncovered in their exhaustive research. -- Craig Whiteside, coauthor of <i>The ISIS Reader: Milestone Texts of the Islamic State Movement</i>


Very few can master the complexity of the ever-expanding list of local movements, but Gartenstein-Ross and Joscelyn give us an authoritative bird's eye view of jihadism around the globe, with tremendous access and analysis of important primary sources uncovered in their exhaustive research. -- Craig Whiteside, coauthor of <i>The ISIS Reader: Milestone Texts of the Islamic State Movement</i> Enemies Near and Far offers a compelling explanation for the persistence of Al Qaeda and ISIS despite over 20 years of aggressive U.S. counterterrorism. Daveed Gartenstein-Ross and Thomas Joscelyn, two leading terrorism experts, explain how jihadist groups innovate and how counterterrorism officials can better anticipate, and disrupt, these deadly organizations. -- Daniel Byman, author of <i>Road Warriors: Foreign Fighters in the Armies of Jihad</i> Enemies Near and Far is an impressively comprehensive overview of terrorism around the world in the modern era. Gartenstein-Ross and Joscelyn's excellent theoretical framework provides compelling insights to which every policymaker should pay close attention. -- Yasmin Green, director of research and development at Jigsaw
