The Philippines War on Terror

The Philippines War on Terror takes readers deep into the roots of extremism in Southeast Asia, tracing the evolution of militant groups and their connections to global jihadist networks.

From early separatist movements to the rise of Abu Sayyaf, and from Al-Qaeda alliances to ISIS influence, this book examines how ideology, geopolitics, and criminal enterprise intersect.

It provides a clear, structured analysis of:

  • The origins of resistance movements in the southern Philippines
  • The fragmentation into groups like MNLF, MILF, and Abu Sayyaf
  • The role of international terror networks
  • The shift from ideology to criminality
  • The impact of ISIS and modern extremist realignment
  • The 2017 Siege of Marawi and its global implications

This is essential reading for anyone interested in counterterrorism, security studies, and modern conflict.
