{"product_id":"the-worlds-most-dangerous-place-james-fergusson-9780306821172","title":"The World's Most Dangerous Place: Inside the Outlaw State of Somalia","description":"Although the war in Afghanistan is now in its endgame, the West's struggle to eliminate the threat from Al Qaeda is far from over. A decade after 9\/11, the war on terror has entered a new phase and, it would seem, a new territory. In early 2010, Al Qaeda operatives were reportedly \"streaming\" out of central Asia toward Somalia and the surrounding region. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSomalia, now home to some of the world's most dangerous terrorists, was already the world's most failed state. Two decades of anarchy have spawned not just Islamic extremism but piracy, famine, and a seemingly endless clan-based civil war that has killed an estimated 500,000, turned millions into refugees, and caused hundreds of thousands more to flee and settle in Europe and North America. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhat is now happening in Somalia directly threatens the security of the world, possibly more than any other region on earth. James Fergusson's book is the first accessible account of how Somalia became the world's most dangerous place and what we can--and should--do about it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e James Fergusson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0306821176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780306821172\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Da Capo Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/28\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 432\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 5.90w x 1.50d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/15\/2013 pg. 13\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/24\/2013","brand":"James Fergusson","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43946411688191,"sku":"9780306821172","price":41.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_baea8b7f-fa76-4cf5-8f79-5a1e42a29064.jpg?v=1681512999","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-worlds-most-dangerous-place-james-fergusson-9780306821172","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
