Decoding Al-Qaeda's strategy: the deep battle against America

This study provides an effective framework for analysing al-Qaeda's plans against America and encourages strategists and researchers to devote greater attention to jihadi ideas rather than jihadist military operations.

It constructs a counter narrative to the West's supposed 'war on Islam', finding that jihadist terrorism strategy has more in common with the principles of Maoist guerrilla warfare than mainstream Islam.

The book adds new dimensions to the operational, psychological, and informational strategies already deployed by America's military in the region.
