This book examines the hybrid nature of the two violent extremist movements threatening the United States: radical Islamism and white nationalism, provides concise but comprehensive analysis of violent extremism as a hybrid phenomenon, focuses on contemporary threats that are of great concern to the United States and other Western powers, combines scholarly rigor with an accessible writing style, and debunks fear and counters myths while avoiding political hype.
