THE JIHADIST THREAT: THE RE-CONQUEST OF THE WEST? by Paul Moorcraft

(Subject: Post World War II - General) This book examines the international and domestic threats to the West from Jihadism. It joins the dots in the Middle East, Asia and Africa and explains what it means for Britain, continental Europe and the USA. More Brits are trying to join the Islamic State than the reserve forces. Why? The author puts the whole complex jigsaw together without pulling any punches. After briefly tracing the origins of Jihadism from the time of the Prophet, he analyses the fall-out from the Iraq and Afghan wars and how far these fuelled the rise of the self-styled Islamic State and other terror groups and the extent these pose to European society.
