This book examines online jihadist magazines published by three terrorist organizations and their aggressive promotion of the Caliphate. This book extends existing research by offering fresh insights on the communicative strategies, radicalization processes, and recruitment methods used by jihadist organizations and their effects on readers.

Based on the premise that terrorism is essentially a message, Jonathan Matusitz examines terrorism from a communication perspective - making it the first text to offer a complete picture of the role of communication in terrorist activity.
