Based on rich first-hand knowledge, Mironova analyses several armed groups, such as al-Nusra and ISIS, ranging from powerful ones with a large member base to groups that only survived a few months. The findings are quite convincing. The book is an incredibly useful resource for understanding the rational decision-making processes of actors in a civil war. -- The Journal of Peace Research
