Customer Reviews

excellent analysis of terrorism financing

Loretta Napoleoni is the world's expert on terrorism financing. She is very well known in Europe as the sole writer who has explained the international economic system created by armed organizations since the end of WWII. I have just attented one of her lectures in San Francisco and was amazed at her knowledge and undersanding of the phenomenon. I think her book should be a required reading for anybody who wants to know the truth about the world we live in. The book is fascinating, written like a thriller will have the reader stay up all night turning the pages. Well done and congratulation, Richard

excellent and honest

this is a masterpiece, it is a honest look at 50 years of history. I recomment it to everybody, especially to those one who do not know so much about our involvement in wars by proxy and terror sponsor in the war. I know a lot about the Middle East and I can say that Loretta Napoleoni Book isexcellent, well written and extremely well researched. It is well above the average production of books on terrorism which has flooded out bookshops since 9 11.

a courageous look at our world

I generally do not write reviews, but I decided to do it because Loretta Napoleoni book is one of the fews I have read recently which offer a global explanation of what is happening. I know the Middle East well and can say that her facts are accurate. She also writes beatifully, I could not put down the book.i reccomend this book to those who want to find answers to the many questions of our complex world.

Reviewed Before Finished

I heard the author lecture at a bookstore in lower Manhattan, and although I initially hesitated buying her book - the beginning of her lecture began too "soft" - I later broached harder economic questions, which she deftly answered. Impressed, or at least positively engaged, I bought the book. I'm finding it well written and well researched, and I'm surprised that it weaves together much common, but fragmented, knowledge into a cohesive review of terrorist financing, without the partiality common to politically/ideologically oriented analyses.

From an enthusiastic reader

Modern Jihad is an amazing book. I am overwhelmed by the amount of research that the author conducted to write this book. While reading it I have realised how ignorant I was of what is has taken place in the world for several decades.I highly recommend this book to anybody who wants to have their eyes opened about their past, present and future
