In forensic and compelling detail, Jytte Klausen traces how Islamist revolutionaries exiled in Europe and North America in the 1990s helped create and control one of the world's most impactful terrorist movements - and how, after the near-obliteration of the organization during the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks, they helped build it again. She shows how the diffusion of Islamist terrorism to Europe and North America has been driven, not by local grievances of Western Muslims, but by the strategic priorities of the international Salafi-jihadist revolutionary movement.

The roots of France’s problem with terrorism lie in a complex mixture of religion, social pressures, and alienation. But the solutions need not be convoluted. Better policing, coordination, and community outreach can all make the jihadist threat less lethal.

Europe is now at the end of a wave of jihadist violence that began on November 13, 2015, with a series of ISIS attacks in Paris. European governments should celebrate the recent decline in violence, but they should not make it an excuse for complacency.
