Summary:
An insurgency in
Nigeria
by the Islamist extremist group Boko Haram has left thousands dead and shaken Africa's biggest nation. They remain a mysterious-almost unknowable-organization. The author traces Boko Haram from its beginnings in
Nigeria
's remote northeast to its transformation into a hydra-headed monster, deploying suicide bombers and abducting schoolgirls. The stories of Nigerians caught between the violence of insurgents, brutal security forces and an inept government. It includes the stories of a police officer left paralyzed, women whose husbands have been murdered and a sword-wielding vigilante using charms to fend off insurgent bullets. This book delves into the roots of the unholy war being waged against the backdrop of an evolving extremist threat worldwide.
