Detailed Resource on Global Integration of Terrorist Networks

January 25, 2018

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

This book provides a detailed glance at the underlying financial mechanisms supporting some of the world's most prolific terrorist organizations. An excellent guide for anyone interested in security studies more broadly, this book offers a new perspective on the integration of terrorist networks within the international economy, and larger flows of human support and capital. Superbly researched and thoroughly written, "Terrorism, Inc." will be immensely helpful for anyone beginning to understand terrorist organizations and their operational and financial behaviors.

A great introduction to terrorist organizations and how they are funded!

April 11, 2016

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

Each section consists of a brief, yet descriptive background on the terrorist organization, how the organization funds its activities through gray and dark economies, what operational and organizational tools the organization use, and methods used by states to counter finance. The book is easy to follow and covers PIRA, LTTE, Hezbollah, Hamas, Taliban, Al-Qaida, and ISIS. After reading this book I agree that “without money, terrorists can neither function as organizations nor conduct attacks.” Looking at counterterrorism from a finance perspective was very interesting.

Excellent book! Very clear and well-written analysis of major terrorist organizations, how they fund their activities, what they achieve with their funding, and how their funding is ultimately countered. This book lends itself well to classroom courses and instruction, as well as research papers and thesis projects. For those interested in the complicated dynamic of terrorism and insurgency, this is a must read!

Great book with in-depth analyses

September 14, 2015

Format: Hardcover

This book is a must read for a widespread understanding about the terrorist and insurgent groups past and present around the world. Each chapter is well written and organized into small sections by topic, making it concise and easy to follow all the different aspects. It provides a case-by-case analysis on 7 different organizations located in various regions covering now defunct groups like PIRA to ISIS, who is currently and rapidly gaining ground to provide a historical perspective about how they have changed over time. By covering different funding operations and organizational networks of each group, it provides in- depth analyses of what goes on in the groups and how some of them are still going strong with widespread support. In light of US involvement in the global war on terror, it seeks to look at the issue from a different viewpoint. It looks at how to dismantle organizations from the inside and cease their operations in addition to fighting them from the frontlines.

Format: Hardcover

This is a very informative book that is also easy to read as well. Each chapter is consistent in the organization of information and is detailed without being overly verbose. There is an impressive amount of in-depth analysis on 7 different terrorist organizations in various regions of the world. The book differentiates terrorist activities as either part of the grey economy and dark economy and gives readers a clearer understanding of the financial and organizational activities that these terrorist groups undertake to continue their operations. A must-read for anyone interested in the inner workings of the financing of terrorism!

Outstanding! Very interesting and informative. For those who want to know how terrorist organizations fund their activities, this is a must read. The book provides insight on ISIS funding and operations as well has the funding streams of criminal organizations and terrorists throughout history. Mr. Clarke offers counter-terrorism techniques to terminate criminal organizations throughout the world. This book should be a requirement for all world leaders.
