ДЖИХАД От Кашмира до Нью-Йорка

International terrorism can rightfully be called the "plague of the 21st century". The tragedy of September 11, 2001, it would seem, should unite all states against a common threat, as was the case during the Second World War. However, there are people in Europe, America, Asia and Africa who participated in the creation of the "terrorist international" in the 1980s and 1990s and who today are trying to use the struggle against the monster they created for their own political interests.

The author of the book, historian M.Yu.Krysin, tells, first of all, about the behind-the-scenes history of international terrorism - one that remains unknown to a wide circle of readers to this day.
Unexpected, sometimes shocking facts entail a whole series of questions. What does "Islamic terrorism" have in common with Islam as a religion, and where is the line between terrorism and a war of liberation? Who is Osama bin Laden - the main coordinator of the terrorist network or the world's largest trader in third world mercenaries? What are the most well-known terrorist groups today - criminal communities, private "security-criminal" bureaus or political organizations? Who are their leaders - "fighters for the purity of Islam" or modern condottieri? And finally, who are their owners? About all this and not only in the book Jihad.
