I wanted to let you know that I just published a book that may be of interest to other subscribers
*Weaponizing Water: Water Stress and Islamic Extremist Violence in Africa and the Middle East* *Abstract * Drought, lack of access, poor quality … water supplies are in jeopardy across Africa and the Middle East. These same areas are rife with conflicts involving Islamic extremist groups. Marcus King explores linkages between water stress and violent conflict by looking closely at how ISIS in Syria and Iraq, Boko Haram in Nigeria, and al-Shabaab in Somalia have weaponized water in the pursuit of political ends. The book is available here: https://www.rienner.com/title/Weaponizing_Water_Water_Stress_and_Islamic_Extremist_Violence_in_Africa_and_the_Middle_East The first chapter can be downloaded here: https://www.rienner.com/uploads/63a480585409f.pdf *Reviews*: "Marcus King's concise and very readable analysis of how water resources can be and have been weaponized in conflicts is perfect for anyone who wants to learn more about the treatment of scarce environmental resources in contested areas." —Elizabeth Chalecki, University of Nebraska Omaha "Undoubtedly the most comprehensive book on the subject of water weaponization that there is today." —Jeremiah Ogonda Asaka, Sam Houston State University *Table of Contents*: Water Stress and Violent Extremism.
