New Delhi, December 2001: 'Terror Strikes Parliament, 12 Killed'
Pulwama, February 2019:'44 Dead in Valley's Bloodiest Day'
Since its inception in 2000, Jaish-e-Mohammed, the Pakistan-supported South Asian terrorist group with a pan-Islamist vision, has been responsible for countless terror attacks in Jammu and Kashmir, and bringing India and Pakistan on the verge of full-fledged war twice.
This book, the first detailed and comprehensive study of JeM, examines its origins, ideology, organizational structure, financing, strategies and tactics, radicalization methods, fidayeen attacks and information networks. Dr Abhinav Pandya's rigorous field research includes extensive interviews with veteran intelligence and security professionals who have dealt with JeM since its founding, as well as intelligence dossiers, charge sheets of cases and confidential reports on the outfit.
With the return of the Taliban to Afghanistan enhancing JeM's operational capabilities, this book is critical reading for an in-depth understanding of the past, present and likely future of JeM.
