Destination Paradise: Among the Jihadists in the Maldives by Francesca Borri explores the unexpected intersection of Islamic extremism and the tourism-driven paradise of the Maldives. The book delves into the social and political dynamics of the Maldives, revealing how this seemingly idyllic location has become a hotspot for jihadist recruitment, with a disproportionately high number of foreign fighters per capita. Borri, a war reporter, provides a firsthand account of the complexities and contradictions within Maldivian society, where Western tourists often overlook the underlying tensions. The narrative captures the perspectives of locals and the broader geopolitical implications, offering insights into the global reach of jihadist movements. The book is intended for readers interested in contemporary global issues, geopolitics, and the socio-cultural aspects of Islamic extremism.
