Mehr zum Buch

The book delves into how Islamic terrorists, particularly Al Qa'ida, have increasingly relied on the internet as a crucial safe haven, surpassing traditional geographical sanctuaries. It explores the evolution of warfare in the digital age, highlighting the internet's role in recruitment, financing, and communication. By comparing the advantages of cyberspace to physical safe havens, it argues that the internet offers greater security and efficiency for terrorist operations. The author contends that the U.S. overlooks this digital front in its counterterrorism strategies.
