Product info

<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>For four years, Jessica Stern interviewed extremist members of three religions around the world: Christians, Jews, and Muslims. Traveling extensively--to refugee camps in Lebanon, to religious schools in Pakistan, to prisons in Amman, Asqelon, and Pensacola--she discovered that the Islamic jihadi in the mountains of Pakistan and the Christian fundamentalist bomber in Oklahoma have much in common.</p><p>Based on her vast research, Stern lucidly explains how terrorist organizations are formed by opportunistic leaders who--using religion as both motivation and justification--recruit the disenfranchised. She depicts how moral fervor is transformed into sophisticated organizations that strive for money, power, and attention.</p><p>Jessica Stern's extensive interaction with the faces behind the terror provide unprecedented insight into acts of inexplicable horror, and enable her to suggest how terrorism can most effectively be countered.</p><p>A crucial book on terrorism, <em>Terror in the Name of God</em> is a brilliant and thought-provoking work.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Stern's firsthand encounters bring a valuable and much-needed perspective to the problem of religious violence."--<em>Publishers Weekly</em><br><br>"Timely and compelling."--<em>Booklist</em><br><br>"A significant addition to a growing shelf of timely books on terrorism."--Christian Science Monitor<br><br>"Wise and Thorough."--Christopher Dickey, Newsweek<br>
