This is a "must read" comprehensive analysis of the modern day Muslim Jihadist. In eleven chapters and 280 pages Peter Bergen covers every aspect of this important national topic of concern. Thoughtfully written and compelling it took me less than four days to read and outline the materials. Seventy-eight pages of annotations and notes organized by chapter provide the launching point for any in-depth topic of interest throughout the book. It should be on the required reading list of every college & university.More than forty years ago I graduated from UCLA with a degree in political science. One of my favorite upper division courses was Assassination & Terrorism taught by David Rapoport examining the goals and strategies of terrorist organizations. This was, of course, decades before 9/11 and the current situation we find ourselves in today trying to make sense and understand the "Lone Wolf" mentality. Peter Bergen's thoughtful analysis of events since 9/11 explores the motivations and "red flag" behaviors that people go through in the process of changing from ordinary people, to ultra-conservative Fundamentalist Muslims intolerant of others and ultimately to jihadist. In almost all cases, there were warning signs that were not heeded. Many of these Jihadists were second-generation immigrants who didn't start out as observant Muslims. He explores the impact of foreign terrorist organizations, including the rapid rise of ISIS and their recruitment strategies. The analysis helps a person unfamiliar with these organizations to get a glimpse of how differently they see the world and explains why they have been so effective in recruiting seemingly normal people to join their ranks. His book extends to topics of exporting Jihad by Americans that took their Jihad to the conflict areas and explains the role the FBI has played in the efforts to curb terrorism. His analysis also focused on recent events including the Boston Bombers as well as Malik & Syed Farook, the San Bernadino couple that dropped off their infant child with a relative immediately prior to launching their Jihad killing a dozen and injuring scores more before they were killed. Finally, the book covers the current anti-Muslim hysteria projected by Donald Trump and other GOP candidates. The book explains why he feels we have a relatively low risk of an ISIS attack in America. After the thoughtful analysis he ultimately minimize the detriment of the lone-wolf Jihadist by putting terrorism in perspective with other violent crimes by showing more people have died from right-wing extremists than Islamic terrorists since 9/11. His conclusion, looking back at the events since 9/11, is that we will have a persistent low-level threat that will linger many years before it withers and dies. I was pleased with his analysis, but I came to a very different conclusion.In my opinion, we can ill afford to walk-backwards looking at the people and events that have transpired since 9/11 to quantify the risks facing the United States in the near future. We need to realize that the world is fast evolving: In the past 20 years the manufacturing base of the American economy has disappeared. The vast majority of Americans today are frustrated working longer hours for less money in a service-based economy. The "large middle class" has now become a lower-income working class. The mere fact that a Democratic Socialist and a vulgar reality-TV real-estate mogul are the front-runners of this Presidential Election shows the anger, frustration and resentment that many Americans feel toward their government. Tens of thousands of college graduates are still living with their parents and are unemployed or underemployed without marketable skills in the new economy and are stuck with a huge education related debt. These are precisely the circumstances that encourage many second-generation immigrants to choose fundamental Muslim beliefs as an escape from an American Dream that has soured into an American nightmare. At the same time, over the past few years, a new generation of WMD has quietly been developed throughout the world. A proliferation of small, miniaturized and concealable weapons which are compact, more easily transportable and significantly more lethal can have a profound destabilizing impact on a world facing a global recession in the near future. A bomb much greater than any Hydrogen bomb ever detonated in the atmosphere can now be placed at the tip of a small cruise missile. If Malik & Sayed Farook had detonated such a device instead of a non-working pipe bomb after dropping off their infant child with relatives we wouldn't be minimizing the impact of the lone-wolf terrorist. The collapse of world oil prices may very soon destabilize countries such as Russia and other oil rich nations resulting in the inappropriate sale of some of these new generation miniaturized WMD. Therefore, understanding the thought process of the Jihadist should not be a low priority concern. This book is important reading by all Muslims so they can identify personality and behavior changes in their family members before a crises erupts into violence. This book is important reading by universities and colleges as we develop better strategies to neutralize these threats and redirect people at risk before they have crossed the tipping point. Failure to properly identify the scope of harm capable by a determined Jihadist in this new era of WMD could lead to catastrophic causalities in the foreseeable future and put our Republic at grave risk.
