Based on a three-year investigation in the country, featuring interviews the families and friends of those who left to join the jihad, Muslim activists and community leaders, imams, politicians, and intelligence agents, this book presents the social forces and communities in Trinidad that have been affected by ISIS.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eSimon Cottee\u003c\/b\u003e is a Senior Lecturer in Criminology at the University of Kent, UK, and a contributing writer for \u003ci\u003eThe Atlantic\u003c\/i\u003e.
