Who Is the Radical Islamist? and Why?

Author A. D. Simmons has studied and worked within the Middle East culture and region for almost three decades. She has consulted for key National Security and intelligence departments of the US government and foreign governments of this region. Simmons is a retired adjunct professor who has had numerous training manuals and educational manuscripts, intelligence reports and articles published both in the United States and abroad – including publication of "Afghanistan and its Call for a Global Jihad” in the Government Security News. Using this incredible experience to write Who Is the Radical Islamist? And Why? Simmons disputes the concept that the twenty-first-century radical Islamist is a “new breed” of terrorist and that there is no historical evidence that can aid in developing a true counterterrorism strategy. Readers will find this new take on our world fascinating, powerful, and life-altering.
