    Default A book for the background, not the reality today

    Hat tip to WoTR for this book review of Alexander Thurston's 'Boko Haram: The History of an African Jihadist Movement' by a US SOF officer who has served recently in Nigeria.

    Link to the book itself, ls has no reviews:https://www.amazon.com/Boko-Haram-Ji.../dp/0691172242

    The NYT reports a certain downside:https://www.nytimes.com/2017/12/08/w...rces-rape.html
