Radicalization in Friction: Why Osama is Not Dead

What can drive a rich man's son or a devoted family man to terrorism? What can lead a group of idealistic college students or a western democracy to embrace political violence? McCauley and Moskalenko will present Friction, a book about how radicalization happens to them and us. Friction identifies twelve mechanisms of radicalization to answer some important questions: Is there a conveyor belt to terrorism? How can religion contribute to terrorism? What signs and symptoms can be used to identify danger of radicalization? Bring your own question!
