Reviews

`Ben Cole has written a carefully researched and illuminating analysis of a key issue in al Qaeda strategy, one that has been the subject of much political manipulation in Western circles. It is a welcome contribution to a subject that badly needs this kind of examination rather than the ill-informed speculation and rhetoric that is so common.' - Paul Rogers, Emeritus Professor of Peace Studies, Bradford University and author of Irregular War: The New Threat from the Margins (I.B.Tauris, 2017)
