Reviews

Randolph Lake:
Global Alert is a must read for national security professionals, political leaders, academics, and any citizens who simply want to better understand the rationale and threat of modern Islamist terrorism.

I highly recommend that anyone interested in the subject of combating the plague of terrorism today read Ganor's short but punchy book.

An important addition to the literature on global Islamic terrorism...It is a very well-referenced and argued book...It should be a required reading for all university courses on global Islamic terrorism.
