- This monograph is based on extensive fieldwork conducted in North East Nigeria, including interviews with Nigerian military and intelligence officials. It contains nine substantive chapters divided into four parts, each part representing an equivalent commitment of time and research effort to that required to produce a single academic journal article. Combining empirical and theoretical elements and running to over 240 pages of text, it provides a political sociology of Boko Haram and an assessment of its military campaign and the scale and nature of the challenges facing Nigerian counterinsurgency forces.
