THE NEW THREAT FROM ISLAMIC MILITANCY
Book ID/图书代码： 11320014B75181
English Summary/英文概要： 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.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 从叙利亚到索马里， 从黎巴嫩到印度尼西亚， 从也门到欧洲大陆首府， 来自伊斯兰的军事侵略似乎日渐增强， 不仅影响范围日益广泛，其所产生的威胁也是前所未有的巨大。 诸如ISIS及其他类似博科圣地的组织， 正一同致力于掌握强大的军事力量，统治数百万民众并控制广阔的边境地区。而在其他地区，基地组织势力犹存并同样迅速进化发展。派系斗争与附属活动在全球范围内日益扩张，全新一代的西方伊斯兰圣战战士日益兴起，并投身海外冲突与本国的袭击事件中。这些组织究竟由怎样的成员组成？他们究竟想要实现什么？是什么将他们联结起来， 他们之间又如何区别？我们该如何解读他们在互联网上积极活动背后的策略以及他们所实施的恐怖暴力活动？
基于近乎长达20余年的边境活动报告以及大量其他文献消息来源， 并包括从情报机关和军事基地中获得信息，知名专家杰森•伯克从大量的观点和错误信息中进行筛选并最终中肯而全面清晰地解释了我们当前所面临的危机其背后的本质。他为我们解释了伊斯兰国家的军事状态在过去的几年中已发生了巨大的变化。 这一变化已不再是一场‘中世纪’的退化， 相反这一变化是现代性的，充满活力与坚韧不屈的。总而言之， 这一变化是全然可以被理解的。
如果我们希望能够理解自己当前的恐惧来源而不是向其屈服，如果我们希望能够理性而有效地应对这一恐惧，并致力于解决我们当前所处时代中最为迫切的问题之一，那么《新威胁》无疑是一本不可或缺的必读书目。（DC）

"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)

Jason Burke’s bestselling book Al-Qaeda: The True Story of Radical Islam overturned a multitude of misconceptions about Islamic extremism and rapidly established itself as the most accurate, readable and expert account of the phenomenon. It was the definitive work of its time, even read as a handbook by US and UK military officers in Afghanistan, and has sold over 60,000 copies. The New Threat will be similarly definitive of our new era. His most recent book, The 9/11 Wars, was described as ‘the best overview of the 9/11 decade in print’ (Economist). His books have been translated into twelve languages. He is currently south Asia correspondent for the Guardian.
Early reviews have so far come from the Irish Times - ’A major authority on the politics and organisation of Islamic extremism’ - and the Daily Telegraph - ’Burke is a superb journalist’.
