The far enemy : why jihad went global
Drawing on interviews with dozens of jihadi activists as well as diverse documentary materials, this book argues that defeats and disappointments for major jihadi groups in national-level struggles across the Muslim world inspired the rise of Al-Qa’ida and the shift of jihadi focus to a global struggle against the United States and its allies.
