About this book

Solahudin's rigorous account fills many gaps in our knowledge of jihadist groups, how they interacted with the state and events abroad, and why they at times resorted to extreme violence, such as the 2002 Bali bombings.

Reviews

Sidney Jones, International Crisis Group:

This book has become something of a phenomenon in Indonesia. It has become the subject of television talk shows and public discussions in mosques and universities. Pirated copies are circulating among former insurgents in West Java. The police, intelligence agencies, and military have bought up hundreds of copies, because no other book so completely explains the intellectual antecedents of Indonesian terrorism today.

Shane J. Barter:

Solahudin and Dave McRae have provided audiences with a uniquelyaccessible, authoritative account of jihadist networks in Indonesia and beyond. It will be enjoyed by a range of readers, from the general public to experts, as it is both readable and empirically rich. The book provides intimate accounts of how these groups work and how their leaders think, providing a valuable contribution to the study of terrorism, armed conflicts, and Islamic politics.
