Terrorism Pvt Ltd  (English, Hardcover, Asthana Nc)

Terrorism is a complex phenomenon which utterly confounds people. In spite of military operations against the terrorist organizations by the nations of the world, they have displayed a baffling resilience. In order to survive and execute their diabolical designs year after year, they need both massive resources as well as volunteers. How do they manage it? From procuring weapons to training the cadres; housing them safely and paying them; despatching them and retrieving them; to taking care of the families of those who get killed, they need funds in the range of hundreds of millions of dollars every year. Then the cadres have to be motivated so much that they are willing to die a most horrible death. And all this is done in utmost secrecy. The efficiency with which they achieve all this matches that of international business corporations-and hence the title of the book 'Terrorism Pvt Ltd'. Victory against terrorism can be achieved only if we have correctly understood the phenomenon of terrorism. This book provides, a most authentic, rare and comprehensive insight into the entire subject of terrorism including radicalization; Wahabism; jihad; the formation, evolution, ideology, morphology and methodology of important terrorist groups like the ISIS, Lashkar-e-Taiba, and Jaish-e-Muhammad; their resources and motivation; financing and combating the financing of terrorism; sources of weapons; Pakistan's state sponsoring of terrorism; follies of the conventional approaches to anti-terrorism; and how we must prepare for the worst-case scenarios, among other things. It will be extremely useful to common men, students, academicians, media persons, security forces, and policy-makers alike.
