The Threat From Within

More about the book

The Threat From Within examines what drives Al Qaeda-inspired radicalization to violence, how to detect it, and how to confront it. The chapters in this book discuss behaviors and ideologies that are observable and tangible in radicalized individuals or those on the path to violent radicalization. The main case study is Canada, and each chapter features many examples that range from Ted Kaczynski (the "Unabomber") and Anders Breivik in Norway to Tamerlan Tsarnaev and Damian Clairmont, a Canadian citizen who died fighting in Syria. A comprehensive list of behavioral indicators that someone is becoming a violent extremist is provided, followed by a look at what is being done as well as what could be done.--From publisher description.
