Description
Somalia, now home to one of the crucial world’s most dangerous terrorists, was once already the world’s most failed state. Two decades of anarchy have spawned not just Islamic extremism but piracy, famine, and a seemingly endless clan-based civil war that has killed an estimated 500,000, turned millions into refugees, and caused hundreds of thousands more to flee and settle in Europe and North The us.
What is now happening in Somalia right away threatens the security of the world, perhaps more than every other region on the earth. James Fergusson’s book is the first accessible account of how Somalia became the world’s most dangerous place and what we will—and must—do about it.
