Jihad and International Security

This book explores the global jihad movement and its emergence in the latter half of the twentieth century. Roshandel and Chadha investigate the nature and extent of this threat, tracing its religious and ideological roots, relevant history, and its goals. The authors also focus on who is fighting jihad, how they end up in the movement, as well as how it is being sponsored. And finally, the book looks at what nations, particularly the United States as one of the movement's primary targets, are doing to counter the threat.
