Críticas:
"This thoughtful and incisive inquiry yields much insight into some of the most important issues of today, and tomorrow." -- Noam Chomsky"This book opens a vista onto the complex financial background of global terrorism that both nurtures and feeds off it and, in the process, onto some of the under-publicized characteristics of the new (post-Cold War) economy." -- George Magnus, Chief Economist, UBS Warburg "A tour-de-force of detective work in economics and theory building in politics that sheds new light on the most worrying phenomenon of the new millennium." -- Professor Paul Gilbert, University of Hull, and author of "New Terror, New War"Loretta Napoleoni has accomplished an extraordinary task of research in tracking, finding and graphically describing the financiers and the institutions supporting global terrorism, including al-Qaeda and Osama bin Laden. Her book is the most definitive account seen so far of the deep and intricate links between terrorist networks and organized crime, from the Italian mafia to the new Eastern European networks." -- John K. Cooley, correspondent for ABC News and author of Unholy Wars: Afghanistan, America and International Terrorism A masterpiece& This book should be required reading for everyone in the White House, State Department and Pentagon. -- Greg Palast, journalist and author of the New York Times bestseller The Best Democracy Money Can Buy Penetrating, lucid and essential. -- Henry Porter, author of Empire State and A Spy s Life Loretta Napoleoni s description of the new economy of terror shows how terrorist financing poses a great threat to our free-market system and our shared world. -- Raymond W. Baker, Senior Fellow, Center forInternational Policy Topical and illuminating. Anyone who wants to know about the under-world of terrorist organizations and how they are financed must read this book. -- G. Kenneth Berhard, Connecticut State Representative"The embarrassing truth is that most books on terrorism have been written by people who have never spoken to a terrorist. The author of this volume has...This book breaks new ground, offering fresh insights into some of the financial underpinnings of contemporary terrorism." -- Alex P. Schmid, Officer-in-Charge, Terrorism Prevention Branch, United Nations"From the creation of illegal organizations and subverted international economic systems; to trafficking money to terrorist groups; to smuggling, Modern Jihad is quite a different take on global terrorism and is strongly recommended as a mainstay addition to any serious collection on contemporary terrorism." -- Library Bookwatch
Reseña del editor:
"Modern Jihad: The New Economy of Terror" propels the reader into the netherworld of illegal organizations. From the Contras to Al Qaeda, Loretta Napoleoni maps out the arteries of an international economic system that feeds armed groups the world over with an endless supply of cash. Chasing 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.The "economy of terror" that Napoleoni identifies is a 1.5 trillion-dollar fast-growing economic system. It is made up of illegal businesses such as arms and narcotics trading, oil and diamonds smuggling, as well as charitable donations, profits from legal businesses and an intricate system of finance. Most importantly, Napoleoni reveals the interdependency between economies run by armed groups and western economies. This ranges from the consumption of narcotics to the production of arms, and from the recycling of illegal money to speculation on the stock markets, as occurred prior to 9/11.Loretta Napoleoni is the first author to tackle the issues raised by September 11th 2001 from a specifically economic perspective. Presenting an astonishing array of evidence, taken from extensive research and interviews, the book is a fascinating account of controversial issues that lie at the heart of many of today's international problems. Revealing how the 'new economy of terror' has evolved by proxy through various wars -- from the Cold War to Al Qaeda -- Napoleoni argues that today's Islamic terror groups are driven by real economic forces in the Muslim world. They are the same forces that have been hindered in the last century by theeconomic interests of both the West and its allies, the oligarchic powers of the Middle East.Shifting the focus away from religious and cultural differences, Napoleoni assesses the full extent of the role of the West in developing the economies of armed organisations and provides a valuable insight into real factors dividing "East" and "West."-- Publicity campaign with radio appearances -- Marketing campaign including advertising in major media outlets including The Nation, The New York Review of Books, Mother Jones, New Republic-- U.S. author tour
