Loretta Napoleoni is the world's expert on terrorism financing. She is very well known in Europe as the sole writer who has explained the international economic system created by armed organizations since the end of WWII.
I have just attented one of her lectures in San Francisco and was amazed at her knowledge and undersanding of the phenomenon.
I think her book should be a required reading for anybody who wants to know the truth about the world we live in.
The book is fascinating, written like a thriller will have the reader stay up all night turning the pages.
Well done and congratulation,

Richard

Nopoleoni's research into the subject of teeror fincing is incredibly thorough and unparalleled. I initially purchased this book as a source for a research paper, but quickly found myself completely engaged in her writing.

The author not only tackles the most obvious and current situations of Islamic fundamentalist terrorism, but she also provides an in-depth look into such groups as the IRA and the Red Brigades, and why this information is relevant to terror financing.

Napoleoni spells out very clearly that terror is just as much, if not more, of a business than it is an ideolgy. She has coined the term "terror state-shell" to decribe the voids created in areas, such as Chechnya, in which terrorist investors scramble to find recruits by offering financial stability to these poverty-stricken areas.

The author also clearly examines, step-by-step, the methods by which money leaves your hand and reaches terror groups.

Compelling book!

The most compelling piece of literature I have stumbled across in a long time. The thoroughness that Napoleoni has demonstrated in her research is what makes Terror Incorporated my new measuring stick as to what constitutes investigative journalism.

excellent book, very well written. has tons of info. i've read more than 30 books on the islamist phenomenon, this author together with nafeez mosaddeq ahmed stand out as the best.
