Terrorism and organised violence are crucially reliant on adequate sources of funding. Blocking those sources has thus become a key goal of national security services in most countries through the world. Terror Disrupted is the first book to provide an insider's account of how national security services have worked to understand how terrorist groups and organisations are financed and what the best ways are to block such financing. It goes beyond banks to examine the private sector and cryptocurrency forensic firms who are on the front lines of countering terrorist access to new forms of value, like cryptocurrency. Investigating the ways the US and other governments have struggled to tackle the financing of terrorism by the radical right, it describes the various ways in which governments and the private sector can counter terrorist access to finance and fight the financing of groups like ISIS and al-Qa'ida.

Reviews for Terror Disrupted: Countering the Financing of Terrorism

'In Terror Disrupted: Countering the Financing of Terrorism, Jason Blazakis, drawing on two decades at the forefront of US counterterrorism, delivers an authoritative and timely account of how terrorists fund their operations and how governments, the private sector, and multilateral bodies can disrupt them. Blazakis's insider experience, spanning the State Department, the intelligence community, and academia, infuses the book with unparalleled insight into the mechanics of illicit finance, from ISIS's oil sales to far-right crowdfunding. At a moment when extremist movements are diversifying their revenue streams and exploiting new technologies, Terror Disrupted offers both a compelling narrative and an indispensable guide for policymakers, practitioners, and scholars committed to countering the financial lifeblood of terrorism.' Daniel Byman, Professor, School of Foreign Service, Georgetown University 'This book offers a significant contribution to the study of terrorist and counterterrorist financing. Through the unique vantage point of an insider, Blazakis provides rare access to the inner workings of the US Department of State's designation process and its critical role in shaping counterterrorist financing measures. The result is a detailed and analytically rigorous account that enriches both academic and policy debates on the financial dimensions of terrorism.' Jessica Davis, President, Insight Threat Intelligence, and former senior strategic analyst with the Canadian Security Intelligence Service
