Résumé ou extrait
  • Présentation de l'éditeur : "The kidnapping of 276 schoolgirls from the village of Chibok, Nigeria, in 2014 drew the world's attention to the previously little-known extremist group Boko Haram. Numerous questions followed, among them : Where did Boko Haram come from ? What explains the rise of this militant Islamic group and its increasingly violent actions ? What is its relationship to the Islamic State ? Jacob Zenn addresses these questions in his detailed chronicle of the foundation of Boko Haram, its strategy and tactics, and its evolution as a global Jihadist movement. Drawing on exclusive interviews and extensive primary sources in Arabic and Hausa, Zenn reveals the group's inner workings and the dynamics of its trajectory."
