Wright examines both the spread of the group’s radicalism and explores regional variations, giving detailed looks at how Saudi Arabia has assimilated al-Qaeda’s thinking, how it’s been expressed in Syria’s film industry, the integral role of the al-Qaeda mission in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in Gaza, and, finally, how the brutal abductions and executions by ISIS have upped the stakes.
