Listeners of The American Terrorist will be able to discuss terrorism like an expert. The book explains why some criminals are labeled as terrorists, but others are not, and compiles the attributes of over 500 American citizens charged with acts related to terrorism into an eight-marker profile of an American terrorist. Acts of terrorism may only impact a few, but the fear they invoke permeates the entire country and divides us. This book gives power back to the community to identify a developing terrorist and offers tools to re-engage them back into society and steer them down a better path. The listener will also find a complete list and summaries of domestic and international terrorist organizations with which American terrorists align.
