Before we take our dive into "The Management of Savagery", it is important to understand the world in which this text was written. Far from the stereotypical undereducated view, the author of this authoritative Jihadist text is highly eloquent and shows an educated and dangerous mind. Although the dogma is questionable to this show, the ideas he discusses regarding asymmetrical warfare are preeminent in his field. In this episode, we have a brief history of the Arab peoples and the Islamic Golden Age to put our story in context. After that, we look into the nature of insurgency and a history of terrorism. Join us as we begin a fascinating study into a work that defines combat in our modern age.
