'Modern Jihad - Tracing
the Dollars of the Terror Networks'
Economist, political analyst and novelist Loretta Napoleoni
has spent several years interviewing former members of Italian
armed groups. Thanks to her unique insight into the management
of armed organizations, she has written a book on a new shocking
phenomenon: the economics of terrorism.
'Modern Jihad' propels the the reader into the nether- world
of illegal organizations. From the Contras to Al Qaeda Loretta
Napoleoni maps out the arteries of an inter- national economic
system that feeds armed groups the world over with and endless
supply of cash. Chasing the terror money, she takes the reader
from CIA headquarters to the smuggling routes of the Far East,
from the back rooms of Wall Street to hawala exchanges in the
Middle East.
Shifting the focus away from religious and cultural differences,
Napoleoni asseses the full extent of the role of the West in
developing the economies of armed organizations and provides
a valuable insight into the real factors dividing 'East' and
'West'.
'Modern Jihad: Tracing the Dollars behind the Terror Networks'
by Loretta Napoleoni
Publication Date: Oct. 28, 2003
Pluto Press Hardcover, 273pp.
ISBN: 0745321178
