This book, the first detailed and comprehensive study of JeM, examines its origins, ideology, organizational structure, financing, strategies and tactics, radicalization methods, fidayeen attacks and information networks. Dr Abhinav Pandya's rigorous field research includes extensive interviews with former and active JeM militants, over-ground workers, journalists, and veteran intelligence and security professionals who have dealt with Jem since its founding, as well as intelligence dossiers, charge sheets of cases and confidential reports on the outfit.
With the return of the Taliban to Afghanistan enhancing JeM's operational capabilities, this book is critical reading for an in-depth understanding of the past, present and likely future of JeM.
