Yet this pillar rests more on a foundation of faith than facts. In \u003ci\u003eLeadership Decapitation\u003c\/i\u003e, Jenna Jordan examines over a thousand instances of leadership targeting--involving groups such as Hamas, al Qaeda, Shining Path, and ISIS--to identify the successes, failures, and unintended consequences of this strategy. As Jordan demonstrates, group infrastructure, ideology, and popular support all play a role in determining how and why leadership decapitation succeeds or fails. Taking heed of these conditions is essential to an effective counterterrorism policy going forward.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jenna Jordan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1503608247\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781503608245\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Stanford University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/12\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.20w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2020","brand":"Jenna Jordan","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43985299505407,"sku":"9781503608245","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7ad1f50d-17ec-43ec-9a1a-341641745c8e.jpg?v=1683276742","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/leadership-decapitation-jenna-jordan-9781503608245","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
