Review # 1 was written on 2017-03-01 00:00:00 Evridiki Kamaratou This collection of essays, published in 2008, offer a comprehensive look at numerous methods that terrorist organizations use to obtain funding, and how these methods can be interdicted. The book is well-organized and compelling, if dense. I mention the publication date, as the focus on al Qaeda is quite strong and sometimes out-of-date, though I do not fault the book for this. I read this book for a course (like another by James Adams, which I recently reviewed), and can appreciate the selection of certain chapters over others by the professor. Some of the essays' density gets in the way of comprehension, but overall, the book paints a strong picture of terrorist financing in the early 2000s and the burgeoning methods for countering the financing of terror that were developing at the time.
