Al-Qaeda in Afghanistan: Nation-building and combating Al-Qaedas ideology

Mehr zum Buch

The book delves into the complexities of al Qaeda's influence in Afghanistan, suggesting that its ideological impact now surpasses its conventional threats to global security. It posits that the group's ambition to instigate change within the Muslim world has overshadowed its terrorist activities. The author contends that the U.S.-led invasion in 2001 weakened al Qaeda but failed to stabilize Afghanistan, highlighting the need for a sustained international commitment to address the root causes of instability and a strategic shift towards combating the underlying ideology rather than relying solely on military action.
