Chechnya and the Boston Marathon Bombings. (2013) Three volumes. 1916 pages.
Documentation and analysis of the Boston Marathon Bombing and the historical context of the CIA-sponsored Chechen-American resettlement community. The deep context of the Chechen independence movement in the late Soviet period (including very early contacts with the Afghan Mujahideen), the First and Second Chechen Wars, and the continuing conflict after the political amnesty at the end of the Second Chechen War are covered. (The successful Russian strategy in the Second Chechen War provides the model that explains much of how Russians conducted their operations in Syria in 2015-2016.) Three volumes. An annotated bibliography including analytical essay, abstracts and documents. (Al-Qaeda & Jihadi Movements Worldwide (AQJM) is a subset of Middle East Abstracts & Index (MAI).
