Since the beginning of the twenty-first century, jihadist movements have primarily made their presence felt through terrorist attacks, with the 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center remaining the most unimaginable.
How did the Islamic State (IS) become a significant territorial power so quickly? Does it pose a serious threat to the independence of countries in the Middle East, and to democracy in general?
Patrick Cockburn shows in his new book that the Jihadists are now more than a few loosely connected terrorist movements, but that they are a rapidly growing territorial power in the Middle East. That this movement must be taken seriously became clear in the summer of 2014 with the emergence of the self-proclaimed caliphate of the IS, which controls large parts of Iraq and Syria, demands obedience from all Muslims and does not tolerate any other beliefs.
In The New Holy War, Cockburn provides an analysis of the background and causes of failed American and European foreign policies and their consequences for the vulnerable and violence-torn Middle East.
Essential, on-the-ground reporting on the fastest growing threat in the Middle East, by the 2014 Foreign Affairs Journalist of the Year.
