NOTE: As with 2010 and 2011, over the next few days Jihadology will be posting lists of books, think tank reports, academic journal articles, and forthcoming books that have been published during 2011 and plan to be published in 2012. Below is a list of books that I have either read or am interested in reading that were published in the past year. They are in alphabetical order by author.
