"Lashkar-e-Taiba - An Emerging Threat is an engaging work on an important subject: the resiliency of the militant organization Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT). While groups like Al Qaeda have received much attention in the West, LeT has not been the subject of many in-depth works. Schlosser's framework for examining hierarchical illicit organizations and how they are different from network-based ones is valuable. It reminds us that even though the conventional wisdom is that illicit organizations are network-based, this is not always the case and organizations like LeT may be very resistant to strategies that are based upon dealing with networks. This work will be of interest to a variety of audiences ranging from graduate students to policy researchers."
