With such a relatively high proportion of its population joining ISIS, Trinidad offers a useful case study in better understanding the global reach of the movement. Cottee takes on the challenge of analysing this with passion and an eye for detail. * Alexander Meleagrou-Hitchens, KCL, UK *\u003cbr\u003eEasily the most original book on the ISIS phenomenon to date. A riveting detective story with deep insights on human behavior, this is social science at its best. * Thomas Hegghammer, Senior Research Fellow at the Norwegian Defence Research Establishment and the author of The Caravan: Abdallah Azzam and the Rise of Global Jihad (2020) *\u003cbr\u003eSimon Cottee has written a valuable contribution to our understanding of the foreign fighter phenomenon: i.e. those who leave their countries to join terrorist groups abroad. Based on significant in-country data collection and analysis, Cottee sheds much needed light on the situation in Trinidad and Tobago, a small Caribbean nation with a wildly disproportionate number of citizens who left to become part of ISIS. This is a concise addition to a small, but growing literature. * Phil Gurski is a former Canadian security intelligence analyst and the author of Western Foreign Fighters (2017) *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePrologue: Holy War in Trinidad  1 My Son the Jihadist  2 The Jihad Goes Local: Yasin Abu Bakr and the 1990 Coup  3 The Jihad Goes Global: ISIS and the Trini Mujahideen  4 The Imam  5.
