Reviews"This book has become something of a phenomenon in Indonesia. It has become the subject of television talk shows and public discussions in mosques and universities. Pirated copies are circulating among former insurgents in West Java. The police, intelligence agencies, and military have bought up hundreds of copies, because no other book so completely explains the intellectual antecedents of Indonesian terrorism today."-Sidney Jones, International Crisis Group, This book has become something of a phenomenon in Indonesia.

It will be enjoyed by a range of readers, from the general publicto experts, as it is both readable and empirically rich. The book providesintimate accounts of how these groups work and how their leaders think,providing a valuable contribution to the study of terrorism, armed conflicts,and Islamic politics."--Shane J.

SynopsisAvailable for the first time in English, this groundbreaking book is an in-depth investigation of the development of jihadism from the earliest years of Indonesian independence in the late 1940s to the terrorist bombings of the past decade. The Indonesian journalist Solahudin shows with rare clarity that Indonesia's current struggle with terrorism has a long and complex history. The Roots of Terrorism in Indonesia is based on a remarkable array of documentary and oral sources, many of which have never before been publicly cited. Solahudin's rigorous account fills many gaps in our knowledge of jihadist groups, how they interacted with the state and events abroad, and why they at times resorted to extreme violence, such as the 2002 Bali bombings., Solahudin's rigorous account fills many gaps in our knowledge of jihadist groups, how they interacted with the state and events abroad, and why they at times resorted to extreme violence, such as the 2002 Bali bombings.
