Global Jihadism exposes the core doctrine and strategy of
today's global Jihadist movement. The first half of the book
explores the ideas upon which groups such as Al Qaeda are
built, including the concepts of Jihad, al-Wala wal-Bara,
Takfir and Tawhid. Jarret Brachman exposes a genre of
Jihadist strategic scholarship that has been virtually
ignored in the West and helps to situate it within the
broader Salafist religious movement. The second half explores the thinking and activities of Al
Qaeda's propaganda machine, explaining its intricacies and
idiosyncrasies. It includes case studies on the rise and
fall of global Jihadist terrorism in Saudi Arabia post-9/11,
and highlights the explosive results of bringing theory to
bear on practice in the United Kingdom over the past twenty
years. The book concludes by providing innovative strategies
for combating the global Jihadist ideology.
