The New Taliban: Emergence and Ideological Sanctions

This book traces the resurgence and reorganisation of the Taliban into a new organisational entity, the Taliban in Pakistan. The Taliban, forced to flee Afghanistan, have found a haven in Pakistan's tribal areas, re-organising and recruiting anew in the process. Pakistani Taliban are ideologically similar to the Taliban in Afghanistan, but are organised in distinct organisational entities. They are, in effect, the new face of Taliban. A comprehension of the evolution of this phenomenon is a vital aid to any research into the gravity of the geopolitical situation. This book traces their evolution, ideology, and profiles of their warlords, organisations, and terror tactics employed by them.
