Description
Leading expert on terrorism reveals the true extent of the threat that lives among us
The Paris attacks in January and November 2015 were the first time the West has seen the catastrophic results of a new wave of terrorism, fueled by home-grown European jihadis returning from the battlefields of Syria and Iraq. Since then, Europe has watched in horror as further attacks have unfolded in Nice, Ansbach, Munich and Rouen.
Here distinguished terrorism and security expert Peter R. Neumann explains the phenomenon of the ‘new jihadis’, showing how and why the threat of terrorist attacks in the West is greater than ever before. Based on exclusive interviews with those who have been radicalised and left their home countries to fight in Syria and Iraq, this is an essential and accessible introduction to one of the greatest crises of our time.
Peter R. Neumann is Professor of Security Studies at King’s College London and Director of the International Centre for the Study of Radicalisation (ICSR). He is a prominent media commentator on terrorism and has appeared on BBC, CNN, CBS News, MSNBC, Al Jazeera and Channel 4. He Tweets @PeterRNeumann.

‘For more than a decade, Peter R. Neumann has been at the cutting edge of terrorism studies.’
