Description

Small Arms: Uncovering the Mobilization of Children by Terrorist Groups Terrorist organizations have long used children to support their cause and carry out activities, but what drives this brutal practice? This book provides an in-depth examination of the who, what, when, why, and how of child recruitment by terrorist groups. Mia Bloom and John Horgan shed light on a phenomenon that is both shocking and thought-provoking. The authors argue that children possess skills and qualities that make them an attractive demographic for terrorist organizations. They explore the tactics and strategies used to recruit and utilize children in terrorist activities, as well as the benefits that these groups derive from doing so. By examining this unconventional topic, Bloom and Horgan offer a unique perspective on the world of terrorism. Through their research, the authors aim to provide a nuanced understanding of child and youth militants, taking readers inside the minds of both adults and children involved in terrorist activities.
