Recenzje

Western Jihadism is a groundbreaking analysis of a global movement about which we often hear but tend to lack the data for. Jytte Klausen's book contributes to the ongoing scholarly attempt to correct this "data problem" and adds in other welcome ways to a variety of debates currently under way in the study of terrorism, as well as policy and law enforcement. It is likely to remain a key text for many years to come. Amarnath Amarasingam, Queen's University, Times Literary Supplment
