Focusing on the instability of terrorist and insurgent groups, the book examines the internal disagreements over ideology, leadership, and strategy that lead to fractures within these organizations. Through case studies of groups like the Islamic State, republican militants in Northern Ireland, and Basque militants in Spain, it reveals how such divisions can either signal decline or give rise to more dangerous factions. The analysis offers insights into the implications for counterinsurgency and counterterrorism, shedding light on the complexities of fragmented global conflicts.
