About this book
Harrison Akins reveals how the war on terror has led to the unintended consequence of increasing domestic terrorism in U.S. partner states. He examines U.S.-backed counterterrorism operations that targeted al Qaeda in peripheral regions over which central governments held little control.

Reviews
David Martin Jones, co-author of The Political Impossibility of Modern Counter-Insurgency:
Akins addresses the important and little understood interaction between relatively weak postcolonial states and the US military. He demonstrates how attempts to impose military solutions upon the periphery of these relatively weak postcolonial states with American help, led to an evolving pattern of escalating domestic terror and counter-terror violence.
