About This Item
Melbourne: Black Inc., 2016. 1st ed.. Paperback octavo, very good condition, maps, corner rear cover creased, pages faintly toned as common, minimal edgewear. 288 pp. We have seen a 'blood year' (2015): massacres and beheadings, fallen cities, collapsed and collapsing states, the unravelling of a decade of foreign policy and military strategy. We witnessed the rise of ISIS, the splintering of government in Iraq, and a brutal Syrian civil war. What went wrong? He calls on 25 years of experience in security to critically answer that question. He looks to strategy and history to make sense of the crisis. What are the roots of the global jihad movement? What is ISIS? What threats does it pose for Australia? What does its rise say about the effectiveness of the War on Terror since 9/11?
