  • "The last chapter provides useful suggestions based on the British-Malaysian experience in countering a communist insurrection, using cognitive immunization, face-to-face interfaith activity, and a public diplomacy that integrates rhetoric and actual deeds. . . .The book is well produced with glossary, notes, and bibliography. Summing Up: Recommended. General readers, upper-division undergraduates, and professionals."
    —CHOICE     October 2009
Description: This book explores two of the most crucial areas of the war on terror: 1) why some Muslims turn to violent jihad, and 2) that process in the world's most populous Muslim nation, Indonesia. The recent history of terrorism in Indonesia has brought this country into the world spotlight: the Bali night club bombing by Islamists in 2002 was one of the worst terrorist attacks in history. The recent violence following the executions of three of the Bali bombers, together with a number of thwarted bomb plots, demonstrate the continuing danger posed by radicalized violent Islamists in the country. Written by one of Southeast Asias leading counter-terrorism experts, Radical Pathways offers innovative new perspectives on the sources of violent Muslim radicalization and what should be done to counter it.
