Vlcek effectively weaves together the many strands that make up the financial fight against terrorism. Along the way, he provides a much needed historical overview of a regime that shifted global politics far beyond 'just' the politics of terrorism, reaching deep into the regulatory systems of states and the personal lives of their citizens. I have a new book to add to my syllabus on illicit economies!
— Mark Nance, North Carolina State University
A vitally important book. The author's longstanding expertise makes the analysis shrewd and authoritative, and anybody interested in the subject of terrorism should read this volume.
— Richard English, author of Terrorism: How to Respond
An excellent book that breaks new theoretical ground and provides a wealth of new and important empirical data, which greatly enriches the field. Highly recommended for anyone interested in terrorism and counterterrorism studies specifically and international relations more generally.
