Somalis risk retaliation or death if they oppose or fail to comply with Al-Shabaab-imposed restrictions on aspects of everyday life such as clothing, media, sports, interpersonal relations, and prayer. Inside Al-Shabaab: The Secret History of Al-Qaeda's Most Powerful Ally recounts the rise, fall, and resurgence of this overlooked terrorist organization and provides an intimate understanding of its connections with Al-Qaeda. Drawing from interviews with former Al-Shabaab militants, including high-ranking officials, military commanders, police, and foot soldiers, authors Harun Maruf and Dan Joseph reveal the motivations of those who commit their lives to the group and its violent jihadist agenda. A wealth of sources including US diplomatic cables released by Wikileaks, letters taken from the Pakistani hideout of Osama bin Laden, case files from the prosecution of American Al-Shabaab members, emails from Hillary Clinton's tenure as secretary of state, and Al-Shabaab's own statements and recruiting videos inform Maruf and Joseph's investigation of the United States' campaign against Al- Shabaab and how the 2006 US-backed Ethiopian invasion of Somalia gave the group the popular support it needed to radicalize ordinary citizens and become a powerful movement 610 20 Shabaab (Organization) 610 24 Shabaab 610 27 Shabaab (Organization)|2fast 648 7 Since 1991|2fast 650 0 Terrorism|zSomalia 650 0 Insurgency|zSomalia 650 0 Islam and politics|zSomalia 650 7 Islam och politik|2sao 650 7 Islamism|2sao 650 7 Jihad (heligt krig)|2sao 650 7 Terrorism|2sao 650 7 Insurgency.|2fast 650 7 Islam and politics.|2fast 650 7 Politics and government.|2fast 650 7 Terrorism|2fast 651 0 Somalia|xPolitics and government|y1991- 651 7 Somalia|2fast 651 7 Somalia|2sao 653 Dawit Isaak-biblioteket 653 |5Afr|aPolitical Islam 653 |5Jon|aTerrorism 653 |5Jon|aTerrorists 653 |5Jon|aIslam and politics 653 |5Jon|aRadicalism 653 |5Jon|aIslamism 653 |5Jon|aSomalia 653 |5Jon|aTerrorister 653 |5Jon|aIslam och politik 653 |5Jon|aRadikalism 653 |5Jon|aJihad 700 1 Joseph, Dan|4aut 700 1 Anzalone, Christopher|4aui
