Book review: radicalized: new jihadists and the threat to the West by Peter R. Neumann

In Radicalized: New Jihadists and the Threat to the West, Peter R. Neumann explores the phenomenon of the ‘new jihadists’ travelling from the West to join and/or train with ‘Islamic State’ and reflects on the scale of the threat this poses to Western nations. While more on the role of women within the movement and analysis of a wider range of European examples would have been welcome, this meticulously researched and engagingly written book is highly recommended by Jennifer Philippa Eggert.
