Críticas:
"This is the book for which anyone bewildered by nature of Islamic militancy, and longing for a primer, has been waiting ... this is history written directly from the front line ... If it is journalists who write the first draft of history, then historians of the early 21st century will be lucky in having Jason Burke as a source" (Tom Holland Evening Standard)
"Important and impressive ... the most accessible and up-to-date analysis of the development of Islamic militancy ... a clear and convincing account ... consistently fascinating" (Guardian)
"An excellent account ... The idea of home-grown extremism is not new. But Burke argues - convincingly - that its nature has changed" (Telegraph)
"To understand Islamic State, there can be few better books to read ... a magisterial account of the fast-changing world of Islamist militancy ... a remarkably clear roadmap for understanding the seemingly chaotic world of contemporary jihad ... Burke’s clear-eyed analysis, based on remarkably wide-ranging research, should be mandatory reading for anyone seeking to understand the globalisation of jihad and to avoid repeating past mistakes" (Literary Review)
"Riveting and readable" (Daily Express)
"Comprehensive and authoritative" (Independent)
"A masterful exploration ... an essential and often gripping read" (Professor Theo Farrell, Head of the Department of War Studies, Kings College London)
"One of the best reporters and analysts writing in the West about militant Islam analyses all the big questions" (Peter Bergen, author of Manhunt: the Ten-Year Search for Bin Laden from 9/11 to Abbottabad)
"Compelling and meticulously researched" (Foreign Affairs)
"How much ought the West to fear the self-styled “caliphate”? Perhaps not as greatly as politicians make out, according to Jason Burke ... comprehensive" (The Economist)

SHORTLISTED FOR THE ORWELL PRIZE 2016
In The New Threat renowned expert and prize-winning reporter Jason Burke provides the clearest and most comprehensive guide to Islamic militancy today.
From Syria to Somalia, from Libya to Indonesia, from Yemen to the capitals of Europe, Islamic militancy appears stronger, more widespread and more threatening than ever. ISIS and other groups, such as Boko Haram, together command significant military power, rule millions and control extensive territories. Elsewhere Al-Qaeda remains potent and is rapidly evolving. Factions and subsidiaries proliferate worldwide, and a new generation of Western Jihadists are emerging, joining conflicts abroad and attacking at home. Who are these groups and what do they actually want? What connects them and how do they differ? How are we to understand their tactics of online activism and grotesque violence?
Drawing on almost two decades of frontline reporting as well as a vast range of sources, from intelligence officials to the militants themselves, renowned expert Jason Burke cuts through the mass of opinion and misinformation to explain dispassionately and with total clarity the nature of the threat we now face. He shows that Islamic militancy has changed dramatically in recent years. Far from being a ‘medieval’ throwback, it is modern, dynamic and resilient. Despite everything, it is entirely comprehensible.
The New Threat is essential reading if we are to understand our fears rather than succumb to them, to act rationally and effectively, and to address successfully one of the most urgent problems of our time.
