About this listen

Begin your exploration into the new wave of terrorism. Experience the book that challenges conventional wisdom on contemporary terrorism. Beyond the religious wave...terrorism appears to have moved into new, uncharted waters...and we are now witnessing a new wave of terrorism.

Several terrorist groups continue to exist even though the conflict they formed to participate in is (essentially) over. Individuals within the groups pursue personal gain (utilizing organized crime) through the cachet and fear of their group’s histories. They are also collaborating with rogue states on criminal endeavors involving drugs and murder.

Join the journey to understand the new wave of terrorism. Terror for Profit is a book like no other, packed with revealing insights, evidence, and real-world examples.

By building on David Rapoport's theory of four waves of modern terrorism, the book identifies shared factors and influences among different terrorist campaigns, leading to a deeper understanding of the evolving nature of terrorism, lone wolf terrorism, and the crime-terror nexus.

For fear of stating the obvious, terrorism is a an extremely complex subject. To get a true understanding, there are so many factors which need to be considered, analysed and assessed. When one delves into terrorism with regard to its causes, motivations, types of terrorism, how it can be mitigated, individuals and organisations involved, it can quickly become confusing and overwhelming.

For those of us who proactively wish to gain even a basic understanding of the premise of terrorism, the complexities can become such that we lose focus, become confused and fail to achieve our objective.

Dr Gallagher in this book brings everything together in a well organised, easy to understand and logical fashion. This makes it easier for a layman such as myself to make sense of the subject whilst avoiding the confusion and effort of having to gather information from a multitude of different sources and then trying to piece it all together. In a nutshell, everything one needs to know is in one place, this book, and is laid out logically in well written prose to aid the understanding of this important subject. I don’t think it just the layman who would benefit from reading this book either: those who work within the realms of anti-terrorism such as police, government, security organisations etc and those who commentate on it, would benefit from reading this up to date analysis of terrorism.

A complex subject simplified
