Terror For profit
A New Paradigm for Understanding Terrorism and Organized Crime
“...the product of decades of experience and expertise”
By Dr. Martin Gallagher
Beyond The religious wave …
Terrorism appears to have moved into new, uncharted waters.
…A new wave of terrorism
A number of terrorist groups continue to exist even though the conflict they formed to participate in is (largely) over.
Individuals within the groups are pursuing 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.
“a thought-provoking book that examines the changing face of modern terrorism and its evolutionary shift beyond religiously-motivated terrorism.”
— Raphael D. Marcus, Visiting Research Fellow, Department of War Studies, King’s College London, and author of ISIS and the Crime-Terror Nexus in America
“A fascinating book for anyone who wants to develop their understanding in this critical area and essential reading for those operating in the world of counter terrorism.”
— Norma Graham, former Chief Constable, Scottish Police Service
“a MUST-READ for both active law enforcement and terrorism specialists.”
— Jeffrey Kaplan, distinguished scholar, Danube Institute, Budapest
“Martin Gallagher's new book is essential for both policymakers and practitioners alike. His background as a policeman and investigator, combined with his academic credentials, make him uniquely positioned to write a book on issues related to the overlap between terrorism and criminality."
- Colin P. Clarke, Ph.D., Director of Research at The Soufan Group and author of After the Caliphate: The Islamic State and the Future Terrorist Diaspora
