Extremism & Political Instability Community

Fellow GTPIIC Community Members: Matthew Porcelli, CPP, one of our more prolific reviewers, has provided security professionals with perhaps one of Security Management's more unique reviews. You'll find it on page 22 of SM's November issue, accompanying the article on Radical Prevention. Boko Haram: Security Considerations and the Rise of an Insurgency appears to offer not only a comprehensive look at one of the more destructive terrorist organizations in Africa but also the broader security considerations that radiate from this group in today's increasingly globalized world. The importance of attention to such relatively far-flung terrorist activity is often overlooked amid extensive discourse about various terrorist threats originating mostly in other parts of the world. Please take a moment to congratulate and thank Matthew, whose short biography appears on page 10 of the issue.
