The Islamic State in Khorasan: Afghanistan, Pakistan and the New Central Asian Jihad: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "The Islamic State in Khorasan: Afghanistan, Pakistan and the New Central Asian Jihad" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

So-called Islamic State began to appear in what it calls Khorasan (Afghanistan, Pakistan, Central Asia, Iran and India) in 2014. Reports of its presence were at first dismissed as propaganda, but during 2015 it became clear that IS had a serious presence in Afghanistan and Pakistan at least. This book, by one of the leading experts on Islamist insurgency in the region, explores the nature of IS in Khorasan, its aim and strategies, and its evolution in an environment already populated by many jihadist organisations. Based on first-hand research and numerous interviews with members of IS in Khorasan, as well as with other participants and observers, the book addresses highly contentious issues such as funding, ISs relationship with the regions authorities, and its interactions with other insurgent groups. Giustozzi argues that the central leadership of IS invested significant financial resources in establishing its own branch in Khorasan, and as such it is more than a local movement which adopted the IS brand for its own aims. Though the central leadership has been struggling in implementing its project, it is now turning towards a more realistic approach. This is the first book on a new frontier in Islamic States international jihad.

CONTENTS

This book is the result of a research project carried out with the Royal United Service Institute and funded by the Smith Richardson Foundation. The latter deserves special thanks, since the book would have been impossible to produce without its generous contribution. The book also benefits from work done while researching articles for Janes, from small research projects done on occasion and from previous projects on the Afghan Taliban and the Central Asian jihadists. The author thanks all those involved and in particular Raffaello Pantucci (RUSI) and Emily Winterbotham (RUSI), who commented the original text and provided very useful advice. The author also wishes to thank Michael Dwyer, Sebastian Ballard, Prerana Patel, Jack McGinn and everybody else at Hurst, as well as the anonymous reviewers for their constructive criticism of the original manuscript.

The author also wishes to thank all those who contributed to the development of his ideas and views on the subject in meetings, workshops and conferences. They are far too many to be mentioned here individually.

Special thanks go to the researchers, who carried out the bulk of the interviews in Afghanistan, Pakistan and other locations. They have to remain anonymous for security reasons, but their efforts were essential to the research project. The author assumes all responsibility for the analysis contained in this text, of course.
