"Essential reading ... Hansen focuses on the complex ideological detours and military tactics of the Shabab from its inception ... a succinct and definitive history." -- The Economist
"Exceptional ... deserves a broad readership." -- Nicholas van de Walle, Foreign Affairs
"An intimidatingly impressive book. No one else has amassed this level of detail and matched it with analysis. ... Stig Jarle Hansen knows more about the positions, decompositions and recompositions of Al-Shabaab than any Western scholar. This book is a real service to us all." -- Stephen Chan, SOAS, University of London, The Round Table: The Commonwealth Journal of International Studies
"Hansen has travelled widely through Somalia for years and is personally familiar with many of the members and leaders of the movement. As a result, his description of events carries a powerful sense of legitimacy ... [He] has put together a remarkably a remarkably detailed account of al-Shabaab's history ... [and] until the distant and unlikely day when something better comes along, Al-Shabaab in Somalia is the definitive book on the subject." -- Richard J. Norton, Parameters, The US Army War College Quarterly
"Al-Shabaab in Somalia is a judicious and timely study of a poorly understood militant Islamist group. A brave attempt to both historicize and scrutinize Al-Shabaab, it is a must-read for anyone wishing to understand a group that has unleashed havoc in parts of Africa." -- African Affairs

"'If you want to understand the reality of the Al-Shabaab phenomenon in Somalia, its existence in the country and its grounding in that ravaged land, this short book, written by a researcher who actually engaged in person with his research topic, will provide you with more concrete nourishment than a whole raft of official reports."--Gerard Prunier, author of frica's World War: Congo, the Rwandan Genocide, and the Making of a Continental Catastrophe
"Unlike the legion of ivory-tower academics, armchair analysts, and self-promoting pundits who have expatiated about Al-Shabaab without even having set foot anywhere near Somalia, much less ever encountering an adherent of the group, Stig Jarle Hansen is a charter member of the small band of intrepid scholars who, even at the height of the insurgency, still pursued their research in the country, their work consistently informed by direct knowledge of actors and events. His is a comprehensive and accessible treatment of a significant subject. Highly recommended."--J. Peter Pham, Director, Michael S. Ansari Africa Center, Atlantic Council, and Editor-in-Chief, The Journal of the Middle East and Africa
"Using previously neglected sources such as YouTube clips, Al-Shabaanb publications, and websites sympathetic to the group, the author highlights the impossibility of studying Al-Shabaab 'without grasping Somali clan politics and the local historical background. ... This is a judicious and timely study of a poorly understood militant Islamic group. It is a must-read for anyone wishing to understand a group that has unleashed havoc in parts of Africa." -- African Affairs
