ISIS: The Terror Nation

內容簡介

內容簡介 你真的了解ISIS嗎？洛蕾塔．拿波里奧尼：「『了解你的敵人』（Know your enemy），依然是打擊恐怖主義最重要的格言。」恐怖主義專家、《流氓經濟》與《這才是伊斯蘭國! 史上最強暗黑經濟體，用營銷策略顛覆全球秩序》作者新作！自1990年代創立者札卡維 (Abu Musab al-Zarqawi) 的崛起，ISIS已然發展為龐大的國際事業，以伊斯蘭教法之名，在中東地區重新劃分國界，佔據的領土超越英國的國土面積。世界知名權威恐怖主義專家兼經濟學家洛蕾塔．拿波里奧尼，帶我們深入新聞聳動的頭條之下，說明ISIS不是如西方媒體所描繪的，只不過是群獲得連續勝利的幫派混混，而是一個有系統的組織，一方面使用現代科技招募追隨者、募取資金，另一方面經營著新建的國家。ISIS從失敗的恐怖行動中崛起，對於中東政治與極盡剝削的代理人戰爭有深入了解，他們不只是恐怖組織的網絡，而是在當今混亂的世界中，對於世道有深刻了解，十分難以對付的敵人。對ISIS進行詳加了解，成了當務之急，否則將會十分危險，帶來無法挽回的後果！From its birth in the late 1990s as the jihadist dream of terrorist leader Abu Musab al Zarqawi, the Islamic State (known by a variety of names, including ISIS, ISIL, and al Qaeda in Iraq) has grown into a massive enterprise, redrawing national borders across the Middle East and subjecting an area larger than the United Kingdom to its own vicious brand of Sharia law.In ISIS: The Terror Nation, world-renowned terrorism expert Loretta Napoleoni takes us beyond the headlines, demonstrating that while Western media portrays the Islamic State as little more than a gang of thugs on a winning streak, the organization is proposing a new model for nation building. Waging a traditional war of conquest to carve out the 21st-century version of the original Caliphate, IS uses modern technology to recruit and fundraise while engaging the local population in the day-to-day running of the new state. Rising from the ashes of failing jihadist enterprises, the Islamic State has shown a deep understanding of Middle Eastern politics, fully exploiting proxy war and shell-state tactics. This is not another terrorist network but a formidable enemy in tune with the new modernity of the current world disorder. As Napoleoni writes, "Ignoring these facts is more than misleading and superficial, it is dangerous. 'Know your enemy' remains the most important adage in the fight against terrorism."

作者介紹

She began her career as an economist, and went on to work as London correspondent and columnist for La Stampa, La Repubblica, and La Paîs. Napoleoni's most recent book is Merchants of Men: How Jihadists and ISIS Turned Kidnapping and Refugee Trafficking into a Multibillion-Dollar Business.

She has served as the chairman of the countering terrorism financing group for the Club de Madrid, and lectures regularly around the world on economics, money laundering, and terrorism.
