Discussion Post: Intro to Global Terrorism
In Beyond Terror and Martyrdom (2009), Gilles Kepel presents his "clash of two grand narratives" view of Al-Qaida's evolution and the U.S. response to it. Kepel's account leaves off at the conclusion of President George W. Bush's administration and touches on the challenges left to the Obama administration, which succeeded it.
