About this title

Review:

'This is by far the most comprehensive, incisive, and informed assessment of international efforts to combat terrorist finances.  Dr. Arabinda highlights not only the substantive successes and failures of the international community in going after the money but also the inherent limitations of international cooperation in this area.  He also offers an excellent account of the ways in which terrorists raise and move money.  For all those interested in global terrorism, this is essential reading.'
Professor Phil Williams, Professor of International Security, Graduate School of Public and International Affairs, University of Pittsburgh

'An invaluable contribution to our understanding of threat finance, Dr. Acharya has authored the definitive study on countering the financing of terrorism. A must read by practitioners and scholars.'
Professor Rohan Gunaratna, Author, "Inside Al Qaeda: Global Network of Terror"

'Arabinda Acharya has produced a very timely contribution to a growing field... Richly sourced and largely free from theory, Acharya's book identifies ways to improve the fight against terror financing as well as some limitations that will endure. In the end, this volume will prove to be an asset for researchers, officials, and practitioners alike.' - Christopher Boucek, Harvard International Review
